PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY

Read your Warranty carefully, with the special consideration to paragraph seven of the Limited Warranty for your unit.
‘Warranty does not apply to...or to any product or part thereof which has suffered through alteration... mishandling, misuse, neglect, or accident”.
Many companies are making look-alike accessories and in some cases, promoting that their product is equal to or better than the
Audiovox product. Be careful. Some of these
products may not be compatible for use with
your Audiovox product and may damage the
unit or cause it to malfunction. If service is
required on your unit, and it is determined that a
non-Audiovox accessory has created the problem with your unit, the Warranty will not apply. In addition, if the unit has already suffered
irreversible damage by reason of a non compatible accessory, the Warranty will be voided. To protect your Warranty, use only compatible accessories which cannot damage or
interfere with the functioning of your Audiovox product.
