LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

1. WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS :

LG offers you a limited warranty that the enclosed

subscriber unit and its enclosed accessories will
be free from defects in material and workmanship,
according to the following terms and conditions:

1. The limited warranty for the product extends for

TWELVE (12) MONTHS beginning on the date
of purchase of the product with valid proof of
purchase, or absent valid proof of purchase,
FIFTEEN (15) MONTHS from date of manufacture
as determined by the unit’s manufacture date code.

2. The limited warranty extends only to the original

purchaser of the product and is not assignable or
transferable to any subsequent purchaser/end user.

3. This warranty is good only to the original purchaser

of the product during the warranty period as long
as it is in the U.S, including Alaska, Hawaii, U.S.
Territories and Canada.

4. The external housing and cosmetic parts shall

be free of defects at the time of shipment and,
therefore, shall not be covered under these limited
warranty terms.

5. Upon request from LG, the consumer must provide

information to reasonably prove the date of
purchase.

6. The customer shall bear the cost of shipping the

product to the Customer Service Department of LG.
LG shall bear the cost of shipping the product back
to the consumer after the completion of service
under this limited warranty.

2. WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES
NOT COVER :

1. Defects or damages resulting from use of the

product in other than its normal and customary
manner.

2. Defects or damages from abnormal use, abnormal

conditions, improper storage, exposure to moisture
or dampness, unauthorized modifications,
unauthorized connections, unauthorized repair,
misuse, neglect, abuse, accident, alteration,
improper installation, or other acts which are
not the fault of LG, including damage caused by
shipping, blown fuses, spills of food or liquid.

3. Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused

directly by defects in material or workmanship.

4. That the Customer Service Department at LG was

not notified by consumer of the alleged defect or
malfunction of the product during the applicable
limited warranty period.

5. Products which have had the serial number

removed or made illegible.

6. This limited warranty is in lieu of all other

warranties, express or implied either in fact or
by operations of law, statutory or otherwise,
including, but not limited to any implied warranty
of marketability or fitness for a particular use.

7. Damage resulting from use of non-LG approved

10. Products used or obtained in a rental program.

11. Consumables (such as fuses).

3. WHAT LG WILL DO:

LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or

refund the purchase price of any unit that does
not conform to this limited warranty. LG may
choose at its option to use functionally equivalent
reconditioned, refurbished or new units or parts
or any units. In addition, LG will not re-install or
back-up any data, applications or software that
you have added to your phone. It is therefore
recommended that you back-up any such data or
information prior to sending the unit to LG to avoid
the permanent loss of such information.

4. STATE LAW RIGHTS :

No other express warranty is applicable to

this product. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY, IS LIMITED TO
THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY
HEREIN. LG INFOCOMM INC. SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF THE USE OF THE

OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL,
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY
TO USE, THIS PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH
OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MARKETABILITY APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.

Some states do not allow the exclusive of

limitation of incidental or consequential damages
or limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts; so these limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state.
