consequential or incidental damages resulting from the sale, purchase, or use of this
product regardless of the cause. Liability for any special, consequential or incidental
damages (including but not limited to loss of revenue or profit, downtime costs, loss
of the use of the equipment, cost of substitute equipment, facilities or services, or
claims of your customers for such damages resulting from the purchase, use, or failure

to both Kodak and its suppliers.

Your righ ts

Some states or jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state or by jurisdiction.

In countries other than the United States and Canada, the terms and conditions of
this warranty may be different. Unless a specific Kodak warranty is communicated to
the purchaser in writing by a Kodak company, no warranty or liability exists beyond
any minimum requirements imposed by law, even though defect, damage, or loss may
be by negligence or other act.

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna; 2) increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver; 3) connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected; 4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for additional suggestions. Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment. Where shielded interface cables have been provided with the
product or specified additional components or accessories elsewhere defined to be
