Peak Warranty 

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with the LCR45 within 14 
days of purchase, you may return the unit to your distributor. You will receive 
a  refund  covering  the  full  purchase  price  if  the  unit  is  returned  in  perfect 
condition. 

 

The  warranty  is  valid  for  24  months  from  date  of  purchase.  This  warranty 
covers  the  cost  of  repair  or  replacement  due  to  defects  in  materials  and/or 
manufacturing faults.  

 

The warranty does not cover malfunction or defects caused by: 

 

a)

 

Operation outside the scope of the user guide. 

b)

 

Unauthorised access or modification of the unit (except for battery 
replacement). 

c)

 

Accidental physical damage or abuse. 

d)

 

Normal wear and tear. 

 

The customer’s statutory rights are not affected by any of the above. 
All claims must be accompanied by a proof of purchase.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment),  
Recycling of Electrical and Electronic Products  

 
In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection 
and recycling of all waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no longer 
permissible to simply throw away electrical and electronic equipment. Instead, 
these products must enter the recycling process. Each individual EU member 
state has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law in slightly 
different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of 
any electrical or electronic products.

 More details can be obtained from 

your national WEEE recycling agency.

 

 

At Peak Electronic Design Ltd we are committed to continual product development and improvement. 

The specifications of our products are therefore subject to change without notice.
