Except as provided in Connected Equipment Limited Warranty (if applicable), in no event shall Philips be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or multiple damage arising out of the use of the use of Philips surge protector.

Limited One-Year Warranty

Philips warrants that this product shall be free from defects in material, workmanship and assembly, under normal use, in accordance with the specifications and warnings, for a period of one year from the date of purchase.

This warranty does not cover damages (a) as a result of an accident; (b) resulting from the use of parts not manufactured or sold by Philips;

(c) or resulting from modification of the surge protector. After any repair or modification of the surge protector by a facility not authorized by Philips, any problems that arise will not be remedied under this warranty.

These warranties extend only to the original purchaser of the product, and are not transferable.To exercise your rights under this warranty, you must provide proof of purchase in the form of an original sales receipt that shows the product name and the date of purchase.

Warranty

Philips warrants to the original consumer that it will, at its sole option, repair or replace any equipment properly connected through a Philips surge protector to a properly wired AC power line with protective ground and telephone/coax lines, which is damaged by impulses from lightning, or other power transients, or by momentary (less than 1ms) voltage surges or spikes (an ???Occurrence???) if (a) the surge protector did not protect the equipment (b) the surge protector shows clear signs of damage; and (c) the damage resulted from the Occurrence.

This warranty does not cover (a) damages caused by acts of God, including flood, erosion, or earthquake, but excluding lightning on products with Power Blocker??? technology; (b) damages caused by a sustained low voltage situation, or

a low voltage disturbance, including brownouts, sags, or power outages; (c) damages caused by war, vandalism, theft, normal use wear-and-tear, depletion, obsolescence, abnormal care or uses, or abuse; (d) damage due to non-authorized program or system equipment modification or alteration; or (e) damage to equipment that was not directly connected to the surge protector at the time of the Occurrence.

protect against surges and spikes.The ???Protection Working??? indicator light will no longer be lit

EN 7

when this capacity is exceeded.The capacity of the surge protector will be exceeded after an occurrence.

This warranty is limited to losses that are not covered by a warranty from the manufacturer of the connected equipment, or by the consumer???s homeowners insurance or renter???s insurance policy. Consumer agrees to first seek coverage under any such warranty or policy, and not seek duplicate coverage from Philips. Consumer agrees to provide insurance information to Philips, at its request; and after a claims settlement, if applicable, Philips reserves the right to be subrogated under any existing warranty from the manufacturer of the connected equipment or under any existing insurance policies the claimant may have.

This warranty is limited to surge protectors which indicate on the packaging an accompanying connected equipment warranty. After any repair or modification of the surge protector by a facility not authorized by Philips, any problems that arise will not be remedied under this warranty.

Your Philips surge protector must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. All connected equipment must be plugged directly into your surge protector. Using any extension cord, adapters, other grounding wires or electrical connections in conjunction with a Philips surge protector will void all Philips warranties. All wires leading into the equipment, including telephone and coaxial lines, must pass through an appropriate Philips surge protector.

To claim damage as a result of telephone service line transients, equipment must be properly connected to a Philips surge protector which offers telephone line protection (see the user manual for installation instructions), and your telephone service equipment must include

a properly installed and operating ???primary protection??? device at the service entrance. (Such devices are normally added during telephone line installation.) If you fail to connect the telephone line protection properly, your connected equipment will not be covered by the Connected Equipment Warranty.

To claim damage as a result of coaxial line transients, equipment must be properly connected to a Philips surge protector which offers coaxial line protection (see the user manual for installation instructions). If you fail to connect the coaxial cable protection properly, your connected equipment will not be covered by the Connected Equipment Warranty.

The customer service department will provide the consumer with a Return Authorization number (RA#). Philips will determine, at its sole discretion, whether consumer should send the damaged equipment and the surge protector to Philips, or to an independent repair facility. If Philips so requests, the consumer must, at his/ her own expense, send the damaged equipment and the surge protector, along with a copy of the sales receipt, to the specified location, in secure packaging (to prevent further damage) with

the RA# clearly displayed on the outside of the package, and with a full written description of the problem, including the consumer???s name, address, and daytime phone enclosed. Philips also reserves the right to examine the site where the damage occurred.

If Philips determines that the Connected Equipment Limited Warranty covers the damaged equipment, and that the equipment was damaged as a result of the surge protector which is covered under the Surge Protector Limited Warranty, Philips will either (a) authorize repair of the connected equipment, at a cost up to the maximum amount set forth on the packaging

of the surge protector involved; (b) provide the consumer with an equivalent equipment replacement; or (c) reimburse the consumer for the present fair market value of the damaged connected equipment.
