THESE WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES; AND
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A ARTICULAR PURPOSE,
ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS
WARRANTY.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE

EVENT SHALL PHILIPS BE LIABLE FOR
ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR MULTIPLE
DAMAGES* ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF
THE PHILIPS SURGE PROTECTOR.

from defects in material, workmanship and
assembly, under normal use, in accordance with
the specications and warnings for the lesser

protection” device at the service entrance.
(Such devices are normally added during
telephone line installation.) If you fail to connect
the telephone line protection properly, your
connected equipment will not be covered by
the Connected Equipment Warranty.
To claim damage as a result of coaxial line
transients, equipment must be properly
connected to a Philips surge protector which
offers coaxial line protection (see the user
manual for installation instructions). If you fail to
connect the coaxial cable protection properly,
your connected equipment will not be covered
by the Connected Equipment Warranty. The
customer service department will provide
the consumer with a Return Authorization
number (RA#). Philips will determine, at its sole
discretion, whether consumer should send the
damaged equipment and the surge protector
to Philips, or to an independent repair facility.
If Philips so requests, the consumer must,
at his/her own expense, send the damaged
equipment and the surge protector, along with
a copy of the sales receipt, to the specied
location, in secure packaging (to prevent further
damage) with the RA# clearly displayed on the
outside of the package, and with a full written
description of the problem, including the
consumer’s name, address, and daytime phone
enclosed. Philips also reserves the right to
examine the site where the damage occurred.
If Philips determines that the Connected
Equipment Limited Warranty covers the
damaged equipment, and that the equipment
was damaged as a result of the surge protector
which is covered under the Surge Protector
Limited Warranty, Philips will either (a)
authorize repair of the connected equipment, at
a cost up to the maximum amount set forth on
the packaging of the surge protector involved;
(b) provide the consumer with an equivalent
equipment replacement; or (c) reimburse the
consumer for the present fair market value
of the damaged connected equipment. If,

Philips to the consumer at Philips expense.

not directly connected to the surge protector at
the time of the Occurrence.

the surge protector, which means until the surge
protector has exceeded its capacity to protect
against surges and spikes. The “Protection
Working” indicator light will no longer be lit
when this capacity is exceeded. The capacity of
the surge protector will be exceeded after an
occurrence.
This warranty is limited to losses that are not
covered by a warranty from the manufacturer
of the connected equipment, or by the
consumer’s homeowners insurance or renter’s
insurance policy. Consumer agrees to rst
seek coverage under any such warranty or
policy, and not seek duplicate coverage from
Philips. Consumer agrees to provide insurance
information to Philips, at its request; and

reserves the right to be subrogated under any
existing warranty from the manufacturer of the
connected equipment or under any existing
insurance policies the claimant may have.

connected equipment warranty. After any repair
or modication of the surge protector by a facility
not authorized by Philips, any problems that arise
will not be remedied under this warranty.

into a properly grounded outlet. All connected
equipment must be plugged directly into your

adapters, other grounding wires or electrical
connections in conjunction with a Philips surge
protector will void all Philips warranties. All
wires leading into the equipment, including
telephone and coaxial lines, must pass through
