Section IV- Warranty and Service 

4.1 Warranty 

In order for the factory warranty to be valid, the installations in a certified aircraft must be accomplished by 
an FAA-(or other ICAO agency) certified avionics shop and 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 audio panel portion of this product to be free from defect in material and 
workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the date of sale. During the first 

twelve (12) months

 of 

the three-year warranty period, PS Engineering, Inc., at its option, will send a replacement unit at our ex-
pense if the unit should be determined to be defective after consultation with a factory technician. For the 
remaining 

twenty-four (24) months

 of the three-year warranty period, the unit must be returned to PS 

Engineering, Inc., or an authorized warranty service facility, for no-cost repair. 
The Sirius Radio Receiver portion of the product is warranted to be free from defect in material and work-
manship for a period of one (1) year from the date of sale.  
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
