Limited warranty

What your warranty covers:

Any defect in materials or workmanship.

For how long after your purchase:

What we will do:

During the initial 90 days

• Exchange your camcorder with a new or refurbished unit, or repair your camcorder. The option will be ours. There will be no cost to you.

After the 90 days and within one year

Exchange your camcorder with a new or refurbished unit, or repair your camcorder. The option will be ours. Parts will be provided at no charge, but you will be responsible for the cost of labor required for the repair.

How you get service:

Call 1-800-283-6503 and have your unit’s date of purchase and model/ serial number ready. The model/serial number information is on the bottom of your camcorder.

A representative will troubleshoot your problem over the phone. If the representative determines that you should receive a replacement unit, you will be provided with a Return Authorization (RA) number and the location of a nearby exchange point if one exists. No returns will be accepted without the RA number.

UNIT INCLUDING ALL ACCESSORIES IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 14 DAYS, THE SUGGESTED RETAIL VALUE OF THE CAMCORDER AND/OR ACCESSORIES WILL BE CHARGED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD. This amount will be credited if the unit is subsequently received.

Any labor and parts charges not covered by the warranty will be included and charged against your account.

4.Ship the unit back to us along with all accessories included with your camcorder using the replacement unit’s carton. Shipping instructions will be included in the carton along with your RA number, which will allow you to easily ship the unit back to us.
