Section IV – Warranty and Service

4.1 Warranty

In order for the factory warranty to be valid, the installations must be accomplished by an authorized PS

Engineering dealer.  If the unit is being installed by a non-certified individual in an experimental aircraft, a

factory-made intercom harness must be used for the warranty to be valid.
PS Engineering, Inc. warrants this product to be free from defect in material and workmanship for a period

of one (1) year from the date of sale. During the

twelve (12) months

of the warranty period, PS Engineer-

ing, Inc., at its option, will send a replacement unit at our expense if the unit should be determined to be

defective after consultation with a factory technician.
All transportation charges for returning the defective units are the responsibility of the purchaser. All do-

mestic transportation charges for returning the exchange or repaired unit to the purchaser will be borne by

PS Engineering, Inc. The risk of loss or damage to the product is borne by the party making the shipment,

unless the purchaser requests a specific method of shipment. In this case, the purchaser assumes the risk of

loss.
This warranty is not transferable. Any implied warranties expire at the expiration date of this warranty. PS

Engineering SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. This

warranty does not cover a defect that has resulted from improper handling, storage or preservation, or un-

reasonable use or maintenance as determined by us. This warranty is void if there is any attempt to dissem-

ble this product without factory authorization. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may

also have other rights, which may vary from state to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion of limita-

tion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusions may not apply to you.
All items repaired or replaced under this warranty are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty

period.  PS  Engineering,  Inc.  reserves  the  rights  to  make  modifications  or  improvements  to  the  product

without obligation to perform like modifications or improvements to previously manufactured products.

4.2 Factory Service

The units are covered by a one-year limited warranty. See warranty information. Call PS Engineering, Inc.

at (865) 988-9800 before you return any unit. This will allow the service technician to provide any other

suggestions for identifying the problem and recommend possible solutions.
After  discussing  the  problem  with  the  technician  and  you  obtain  a  Return  Authorization  Number,  ship
