Warranty Registration
The warranty for the 1776 Player/Recorder specifically covers
use in schools, churches and early childhood daycare centers,
unlike consumer electronic products. This is critical to help
avoid lost class time due to “down” equipment and helps
stretch budgets.
It is built to the same standards as the rest of our products
which teachers and other presenters rely on day in and day
out. Califone warrants this product to be free from defective
material and workmanship for one year from the purchase
date. Our “Project Intercept” Customer Satisfaction program
will replace defective parts and repair malfunctioning
products under this warranty when the defect occurs under
normal use, provided the unit is returned to our factory via
prepaid transportation only after the factory issues an RA
(Return Authorization) number which must be clearly written
on the outside of the box.
