TEN YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

Kidde warrants to the original purchaser that the enclosed smoke alarm (but not the
battery) will be free from defects in material and workmanship or design under normal
use and service for a period of ten years from the date of purchase.  The obligation of
Kidde under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing the smoke alarm or any
part which we find to be defective in material, workmanship or design, free of charge
to the customer, upon sending the smoke alarm with proof of date of purchase,
postage and return postage prepaid, to Warranty Service Department, Kidde, 1016
Corporate Park Dr., Mebane, NC 27302.

This warranty shall not apply to the smoke alarm if it has been damaged, modified,
abused or altered after the date of purchase or if it fails to operate due to improper
maintenance or inadequate A.C. or D.C. electrical power.

THE LIABILITY OF KIDDE OR ANY OF ITS PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS ARIS-
ING FROM THE SALE OF THIS SMOKE ALARM OR UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY SHALL NOT IN ANY CASE EXCEED THE COST OF REPLACEMENT OF
SMOKE ALARM AND, IN NO CASE, SHALL KIDDE OR ANY OF ITS PARENT OR SUB-
SIDIARY CORPORATIONS BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGES RESULT-
ING FROM THE FAILURE OF THE SMOKE ALARM OR FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED
BY THE COMPANY’S NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT.

Since some states do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty or do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the above
limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.  While this warranty gives you specific
legal rights, you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Also, Kidde makes no warranty, express or implied, written or oral, including that of
merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, with respect to the battery.

The above warranty may not be altered except in writing signed by both parties hereto
