Warranty
• All plastic surfaces and all other externally exposed parts that are scratched or
• damaged due to customer normal use.
• Products rented on a temporary basis.
• Periodic maintenance and repair or replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear.
Note: The talk-time, stand-by time and total life cycle of the rechargeable batteries for
your digital cordless telephone will depend on usage conditions and network
configurations. As a consumable product, the specifications indicate that you should
be able to obtain optimum performance for your digital cordless telephone within the
first two months from date of purchase.
The warranty for the rechargeable batteries becomes void if (i) the batteries are
charged other than by original battery chargers specified for the charging of the
battery, (ii) any of the seals on the battery are broken or show evidence of tampering,
(iii) the battery is used in equipment or service other than the digital cordless
telephone for which it is specified.
Depending on operating conditions and your usage habits, wear and tear might take
place of components including mechanical problems related to Product housing, paint,
assembly, sub-assemblies, displays and keyboards and any accessories which are not
part of the Product's in-box configuration. The rectification of faults generated through
wear and tear and the use of consumable items like batteries is considered to be your
responsibility and therefore Distributor will not provide the free Warranty repair service
for these items.
