Introduction

Limited One-Year Warranty on Radio(s) & Charger

For Products Purchased in Canada

Your new Cobra GMRS radios and charger are covered by a one-year
replacement warranty. If any manufacturing defect becomes apparent in this
product within one year from the original date of purchase, it will be
replaced. Please return the GMRS radio or charger to your dealer with
original or copy of dated proof of purchase. This warranty does not cover
damages due to careless handling, negligence, accident, abuse or failure to
follow operating instructions. Alteration of this product or defacing of the
serial number cancels all obligations of this warranty. This warranty gives
you specified legal rights. Additional warranty rights may be provided by
law in some areas.

For Products Purchased in the U.S.A.

Cobra Electronics Corporation warrants that its Cobra GMRS radios and
charger, and the component parts thereof, will be free of defects in
workmanship and materials for a period of one year from the date of first
consumer purchase. This warranty may be enforced by the first consumer
purchaser, provided that the product is utilized within the U.S.A. 
Cobra will, without charge, repair or replace, at its option, defective GMRS
radios, chargers, products or component parts upon delivery to the Cobra
Factory Service department, accompanied by proof of the date of first
consumer purchase, such as a duplicated copy of a sales receipt. 
You must pay any initial shipping charges required to ship the product for
warranty service, but the return charges will be at Cobra’s expense, if the
product is repaired or replaced under warranty. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which may vary
from state to state.

Exclusions: This limited warranty does not apply:

1) To any product

damaged by accident; 2) In the event of misuse or abuse of the product or
as a result of unauthorized alterations or repairs; 3) If the serial number has
been altered, defaced, or removed; 4) If the owner of the product resides
outside the U.S.A.
All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness
for a particular purpose are limited in duration to the length of this
warranty. Cobra shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential or other
damages; including, without limitation, damages resulting from loss of use
or cost of installation. 
Some states 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 may not apply to you.

For Products Purchased Outside Canada or the U.S.A.

Please contact your local dealer for warranty information.
