date of purchase by the original purchaser (the “warranty period”) that the new
Crown product is free of defects in materials and workmanship. We further
warrant the new Crown product regardless of the reason for failure, except as
excluded in this Warranty.

This Crown Warranty is in effect only for failure of a new Crown product which

been damaged because of any intentional misuse, accident, negligence, or loss
which is covered under any of your insurance contracts. This Crown Warranty
also does not extend to the new Crown product if the serial number has been
defaced, altered, or removed.

We will remedy any defect, regardless of the reason for failure (except as
excluded), by repair, replacement, or refund. We may not elect refund unless
you agree, or unless we are unable to provide replacement, and repair is not
practical or cannot be timely made. If a refund is elected, then you must make
the defective or malfunctioning product available to us free and clear of all liens
or other encumbrances. The refund will be equal to the actual purchase price,
not including interest, insurance, closing costs, and other finance charges less a
reasonable depreciation on the product from the date of original purchase.
Warranty work can only be performed at our authorized service centers or at the
factory. Warranty work for some products can only be performed at our factory.
We will remedy the defect and ship the product from the service center or our

including surface shipping costs in the United States, will be borne by us. (You
must bear the expense of shipping the product between any foreign country and
the port of entry in the United States including the return shipment, and all taxes,
duties, and other customs fees for such foreign shipments.)

You must notify us of your need for warranty service within the warranty period.
All components must be shipped in a factory pack, which, if needed, may be
obtained from us free of charge. Corrective action will be taken within a
reasonable time of the date of receipt of the defective product by us or our
authorized service center. If the repairs made by us or our authorized service
center are not satisfactory, notify us or our authorized service center
immediately.

DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE NEW CROWN
PRODUCT. THIS INCLUDES ANY DAMAGE TO ANOTHER PRODUCT OR
PRODUCTS RESULTING FROM SUCH A DEFECT. SOME STATES DO NOT

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION

This Crown Warranty is not extended by the length of time which you are
deprived of the use of the new Crown product. Repairs and replacement parts
provided under the terms of this Crown Warranty shall carry only the unexpired
portion of this Crown Warranty.

without notice and with no obligation to make corresponding changes in products
previously manufactured.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
