Warranty coverage begins the day you buy your product.
For one year thereafter, all parts will be repaired or
replaced, and labor is free. After one year from the day of
purchase, you pay for the replacement or repair of all
parts, and for all labor charges.
All parts, including repaired and replaced parts, are covered
only for the original warranty period.When the warranty
on the product expires, the warranty on all replaced and
repaired parts also expires.

and/or authorized, or repair of products damaged by
these modifications.

• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the

product. (Some states do not allow the exclusion of inci-
dental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion

prerecorded material, whether copyrighted or not copy-
righted.)

• a product that is used for commercial or institutional
