Braille + Extended Warranties Now Available
Friday, May 9th, 2008Here is an announcement from The American Printing House for The Blind regarding the Braille + Mobile Manager.
Braille + Mobile Manager
Extended Warranties Now Available
As we conclude the end of the first year of your ownership of the Braille +, we have had many excellent positive responses as to how this product has benefited you in school, work and daily activities. We bring to your attention several new opportunities that you will want to consider now for your long term use and enjoyment of this product.
During the first year after the Braille + was sold to you, a one-year warranty against manufacturer defects and free downloads for all software updates was included at no additional charge. Many customers are now wanting to extend these agreements which are outlined and priced as follows. Attached you will find a summary order form for your use and convenience. The serial number of your unit is the controlling feature to extend these agreements. Please be certain to identify it when placing your order.
Braille + One-Year HMA (Hardware Maintenance Agreement)
Product Number: 1-07460-00 $125.00
The annual HMA protects you from unanticipated maintenance cost. Repairs are covered, including parts and labor, for 12 months beyond the first year limited warranty that was included with your initial purchase. The HMA must be purchased while the product is covered under the standard warranty. Batteries and other accessories are not covered by the HMA.
Braille + One-Year SMA (download)
Product Number: 1-07462-00 $75.00
The annual Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) gives Braille + owners unlimited software downloads for a period of one year. This gives you uninterrupted additional coverage beyond the standard first year updates you have received. It must be purchased while covered under the standard or existing SMA.
An SMA download will be available as soon as possible following your purchase, please allow 3-5 working days for the implementation.
Optional One SMA update on miniSD
Product Number: 1-07463-00 $50.00
After purchasing the one-year SMA above, you may prefer to install updates using a miniSD. This is available to you for an additional fee of $50.00 for each update supplied by miniSD. It must be purchased while covered under the standard or existing SMA.
Braille + One Time Software Update
Product Number: 1-07464-00 $200.00
The one-time software download allows those without the annual software agreement to upgrade their software to the most recent release. This update is provided on a miniSD card. You will only need to consider this if you do not extend your option to purchase the standard SMA and then want the updates later.
Please take a moment now to consider the benefits of continuing your maintenance agreements as you progress with future enhancements. IT IS IMPORTANT TO ACT NOW BEFORE THE END OF YOUR FIRST YEAR. Complete the order form attached or phone APH customer service. Be certain to have your Braille + serial number available when purchasing. If you have any questions please call customer service at 800-223-1839 or email us at cs@aph.org.
