The installer must ensure that this control and its wiring are isolated and/or shielded from strong sources of electromagnetic noise.
Conversely, this Class B digital apparatus complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. However, if this control does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the control off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by reorienting or
relocating the receiving antenna, relocating the receiver with respect to this control, and/or connecting the control to a different circuit
from that to which the receiver is connected.

Limited Warranty 

The liability of tekmar Control Systems Ltd. and tekmar

Control Systems, Inc. ("tekmar") under this warranty is limited. Please read and
understand the conditions appearing herein.

tekmar warrants each tekmar product against defects in workmanship and materials,
when the product is installed and used in compliance with tekmar's instructions. The
warranty period is for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the production date if
the product is not installed during that period, or twelve (12) months from the
documented date of installation if installed within twenty-four (24) months from the
production date, but in any event the warranty period shall not extend beyond thirty-
six (36) months from the production date. During the warranty period, tekmar will, at
its discretion, either repair at no charge, exchange or give credit for the defective
product, provided the product is returned to tekmar.

The liability of tekmar shall be limited to the cost of parts and labour provided by tekmar
to correct defects in materials and / or workmanship or to the exchange of the defective
product for a replacement product or to the granting of credit limited to the original cost
of the product, at tekmar's discretion, and such repair, exchange or credit shall be
deemed to be the sole remedy available from tekmar. This warranty does not cover
the cost of the parts or labour to remove or to transport the defective product, or to
reinstall the repaired or replacement product. Returned products that are not defective

are not covered by this warranty.

This warranty does not apply if the product has been damaged by accident, abuse,
misuse, negligence, fire, Act of God, or has been damaged by modifications,
alterations or attachments made subsequent to purchase which have not been
authorized by tekmar, or if the product was not installed in compliance with the
local codes and ordinances, or if due to defective installation of the product.

The warranty applicable to a product is as set out in the statement of warranty
policy (the "Warranty") above, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. The
liability of tekmar is limited to those obligations identified in the warranty as
obligations of tekmar. The warranty is understood to be in substitution for any
loss, costs or damages for which tekmar might otherwise be liable at law or in
equity and in particular, in lieu of any liability for fundamental breach of
contract.

tekmar disclaims any responsibility for losses, expenses, inconveniences, or
any special, indirect, secondary, incidental or consequential damages arising
from ownership or use of any items subject to any claim hereunder, regardless
of whether such claim is stated in contract, tort or strict product liability.

This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including,
without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
durability or description of the product, its non-infringement of any relevant
patents or trademarks, and its compliance with or non-violation of any applicable
environmental, health or safety legislation. No implied warranties shall extend
beyond twenty-four (24) months from the production date.

Some states or provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state or
province to province.

Product Return Procedures Products that are believed to have defects in workmanship
or materials must be returned, together with a written description of the defect, to the
tekmar representative for that territory. If the address of the representative is not
known, please request it from tekmar at the telephone number listed below.
