This warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or 
workmanship, and DOES NOT COVER normal wear and tear or cosmetic 
damage. The warranty ALSO DOES NOT COVER damages which 
occurred in shipment, or failures which are caused by products not 
supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from accidents, misuse, 
abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, 
set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls, improper 
maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, modification, or

images, data or other memory content. The items listed are not exclusive, 
but are for illustration only.) ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, 
ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-
quential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so 
the exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other 
rights which vary from state to state. If a problem with this product 
develops during or after the warranty period, you may contact your dealer 
or Servicenter. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then write 
to the warrantor’s Consumer Affairs Department at the addresses listed for 
the warrantor.
