Service Under Warranty

During the warranty period, defective units will
be repaired without charge to the purchaser when
returned with a dated store receipt to the address
below. Units returned without a dated store
receipt will be handled as described in section

“Service Out Of Warranty.” 

Due to the specialized equipment necessary for
testing a Laser-Radar receiver, there are no
authorized service stations for Whistler brand
detectors other than Whistler.
When returning a unit for service under 
warranty, please follow these instructions:
1.

Ship the unit in the original carton or in a 
suitable sturdy equivalent, fully insured, with 
return receipt requested to:

Whistler Repair Dept.

551 N. 13th St.

Rogers, AR. 72756

Please allow 3 weeks turnaround time.

Important:

Whistler will not assume responsi-

bility for loss or damage incurred in shipping.

Therefore, please ship your unit insured with

return receipt requested.  

CODs will not be

accepted!

2.

Include with your unit the following 
information, clearly printed:
• Your name and street address

(for 

shipping via UPS)

, a daytime telephone 

number and an email address, if applicable.
• A detailed description of the problem (e.g., 
“Unit performs self-test but does not respond 

`

to radar”).
• A copy of your dated store receipt or bill of 
sale.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

3.

Be certain your unit is returned with its serial 
number. For reference, please write your unit’s 
serial number in the following space: 
s/n______________.

Units without serial numbers are not covered under warranty

.

Important: To validate that your unit is within

the warranty period, make sure you keep a

copy of your dated store receipt. You may

register your warranty online at 

www.whistlergroup.com, however, for 

warranty verification purposes, a copy of

your dated store receipt must accompany any

unit sent in for warranty work.

Service Out of Warranty

Units will be repaired at ‘out of warranty’ service
rates when:

• The unit’s original warranty has expired.
• A dated store receipt is not supplied.
• The unit has been returned without its serial 

number.

• The unit has been abused, modified, 

installed improperly, or had its housing 
removed.

The minimum out of warranty service fee for
your Whistler detector is $55.00 (U.S.). If you
require out of warranty service, please return
your unit as outlined in the section “Service
Under Warranty” along with a certified check or
money order for $55.00. Payment may also be
made by MasterCard, VISA or American
Express; 

personal checks are not accepted

In the event repairs cannot be covered by the
minimum $55.00 service fee, you will be con-
tacted by a Whistler technical service special-
ist who will outline options available to you.

If you elect not to have your unit repaired, it will
be returned to you along with your certified
check or money order.
