Warranty - DATEL’s standard warranty terms apply except the warranty period. As the date

of last shipments approach, warranty support and repairs will terminate on September 30,

2004. Customers must immediately perform a functional inspection on any shipments near this

date. DATEL will have no technical or repair facilities after this date.

Technical Support - Since some DATEL engineering resources have already been reallocated,

support and repairs are currently limited and more will be withdrawn over time. We encourage

users to get all support issues settled as soon as practical.

Replacement Products - DATEL is not aware of any competitive manufactured products which

are exact replacements for these products. However, there are numerous items with similar

functions. These will require re-integration with your application.

Manufacturing Rights - DATEL is not offering manufacturing rights on these products. The

difficulty here is the complexity of technical support to fully transfer all comprehensive details of

manufacturing (including test fixturing, component specifications and device programming). Most

of these products would require considerable re-engineering by the user to resume production

outside DATEL. Nor will we retain spare parts after September 30, 2004. Volume users

should contact DATEL to discuss their needs.

*******

As very large volume component users ourselves who are subject to frequent component

obsolescence issues, DATEL sincerely regrets any inconvenience this Notice may cause our

customers.
