LIMITED WARRANTY
For a period of 24 months from the date of purchase, MasterGuard warrants to you,
the original consumer purchaser, that your Smoke Alarm will be free from defects in
workmanship, materials, and construction under normal use and service. If a defect in
workmanship, materials, or construction should cause your Smoke Alarm to become
inoperable within the warranty period, MasterGuard will repair your Smoke Alarm or
furnish you with a new or rebuilt replacement Smoke Alarm without charge to you except
for postage required to return the Smoke Alarm to us. Your repaired or replacement
Smoke Alarm will be returned to you free of charge and it will be covered under this
warranty for the balance of the warranty period.
This warranty is void if our inspection of your Smoke Alarm shows that the damage or
failure was caused by abuse, misuse, abnormal usage, faulty installation, improper
maintenance, or repairs other than those performed by us.
ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED UNDER ANY STATE LAW, INCLUDING IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
APPLY ONLY FOR THE WARRANTY PERIOD SPECIFIED ABOVE. PLEASE NOTE
THAT SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED
WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
MASTERGUARD WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH
THE SALE, USE, OR REPAIR OF THIS SMOKE ALARM. PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME
STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU.
If a defect in workmanship, materials, or construction should cause your Smoke Alarm
to become inoperable within the warranty period, you must return the Smoke Alarm to
MasterGuard postage prepaid. You must also pack the Smoke Alarm to minimize the risk
of it being damaged in transit. You must also enclose a return address. Smoke Alarms
returned for warranty service should be sent to: MasterGuard Corporation, 801
Hammond Street, Suite 200, Coppell TX 75019.
If we receive a Smoke Alarm in a damaged condition as the result of shipping, we will
notify you and you must file a claim with the Shipper.

ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
THIS IS YOUR COPY OF OUR LIMITED WARRANTY. PLEASE RETAIN IT WITH
PROOF OF DATE OF PURCHASE IN A SAFE PLACE.
25 YEAR PRODUCT REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
After the above Limited Warranty set forth in the Installation Instructions - Owner’s
Information has expired, commencing in the 25th month and extending to the 324th
month, MasterGuard guarantees to repair or replace your smoke alarm at a preferred
customer discounted price which includes shipping and handling and is adjusted annually.
The Product Replacement Warranty does not create any other obligations or liabilities of
MasterGuard Corporation.
This offer is extended only to the original purchaser and is available when the detector
is sent to MasterGuard with a description of the problem and proof of purchase. This
replacement offer is void if our inspection reveals that the damage or failure is a result of
abuse, misuse, improper maintenance, abnormal usage, or unauthorized repairs. At least
an annual washing (according to the directions supplied in this owner’s manual or
www.masterguard.com) is recommended to prolong the useful life of your MasterGuard
smoke detector.
Contact MasterGuard for current pricing, then forward your check and smoke alarm
with postage prepaid to MasterGuard. Enclose your return address and daytime tele-
phone number. MasterGuard will ship the new replacement unit upon receipt of the
above requirements.
It should be noted that the National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.), which is the
national independent regulatory body for the fire protection industry, currently recom-
mends that electronic smoke detectors be replaced after 10 years of use. Therefore, any
MasterGuard smoke alarm over 10 years old is replaceable at this special discounted
price without inspection.
THIS PRODUCT REPLACEMENT POLICY SHALL HAVE NO EFFECT ON ANY
WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY. MASTERGUARD DIS-
CLAIMS ANY OTHER DUTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
REPLACEMENT AT THE DISCOUNTED PRICE IS THE SOLE REMEDY UNDER THIS
POLICY AND MASTERGUARD WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, USE, OR REPLACEMENT OF THE SMOKE ALARM

THAT SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDEN-
TAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU.
