Limited One Year Warranty–USA and Canada

Length of Warranty.  This warranty from Recoton Mobile
Electronics shall be in effect for a period of one year from
the date of the first consumer purchase.

Persons Protected.  This warranty will be enforceable by
the original owner and any subsequent owners during the
warranty period so long as proof of date of purchase from
an authorized Jensen dealer is presented whenever
warranty service is required.

What is Covered.  Except as otherwise specified below,
this warranty covers all defects in material and workman-
ship in this product.  The following are not covered: damage
resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, product
modification, improper installation, incorrect line voltage,
unauthorized repair or failure to follow instructions supplied
with the product; damage occurring during shipment (claims
must be presented to the carrier); elimination of car static
or other electrical interferences; any product purchased
outside USA or Canada, or on which the serial number
has been defaced, modified or removed.

How You Can Get Service.

U.S. Purchasers.  Please telephone Jensen at
1-800-323-4815.  We will either inform you of the name
and address of an authorized Jensen repair station which
will service the product or will advise you to send the
product to a factory service center.

Canadian Purchasers.  The product should be returned
to the Jensen dealer from whom it was purchased and
such dealer either will service or arrange for service of
the product.

If shipment of the product is required, it should be packed
securely.  The original dated bill of sale must always be
included with the product as proof of warranty coverage.

What We Will Pay For.  We will pay for all labor and
material expenses required to repair the product, but you
must pay any labor costs for the removal and/or installation
of the product.  If the product is shipped for warranty
service, you must prepay the initial shipping charges, but
Jensen will pay the return shipping charges if the product is
returned to an address inside the USA or Canada.

Limitation of Implied or Statutory Warranties and
Conditions
.  All implied or statutory warranties and
conditions, including warranties or conditions of merchant-
ability, fitness for particular purposes and non-infringement,
are limited in duration to the length of this warranty.

Exclusion of Certain Damages.  Jensen’s liability is
limited to the repair or replacement, at our option, of any
defective product and shall not include incidental or
consequential economic damages of any kind.

Some states and/or provinces do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitations and 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 and
province to province.
