I/O cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage, consequential
or otherwise, incurred while using its equipment. While Data I/O makes
every effort to ensure that the programming algorithms are correct,
the said algorithms are not guaranteed by the manufacturers and thus
Data I/O cannot make any guarantees regarding the algorithms implemented
on its programmers. Users are advised to ensure that devices work
correctly in their systems before programming large quantities.
Regularly
check the Data I/O web site for device algorithm updates.
