Limited Warranty (cont’d)  51

If your product is defective, you may be able to exchange it at the store from which it was purchased. 
Most stores display a Return Policy. If not, ask the manager or sales associate how many days you have to exchange
a product with them. After the store’s return period has expired, you may exchange the product with Philips if you
have your original sales receipt.
To exchange your product with Philips (per the warranty conditions stated previously), remember:

If you exchange the product within 90 days of the original purchase, there is no cost to you. 

If you exchange the product more than 90 days after but less than one year after the day of original purchase,
your cost will be $29.95 plus your local sales tax. If sales tax is missing or incorrect, your order will be delayed,
and you will be contacted. 

After 12 months from the day of original purchase, contact Philips Service Solutions Group at 1-800-531-0039
for information regarding out-of-warranty exchange.
