Your unit is covered by a full one-year warranty. (See inside for complete
warranty details.) If your unit fails and the failure is not covered by the
original warranty, Eagle has a flat-rate repair policy that covers your unit
and accessories packed with the unit at the factory. There is a 180-day
warranty on all non-warranty repairs from the factory, which is similar to the
original warranty, but is for 180 days rather than one year. For further
details, please call us at the above number.

Remember, non-warranty repairs are subject to Eagle's published flat-rate
charges and 180-day warranty.
