5 Limited
warranty
Philips, Inc. (“Philips”) provides one or both
of the following warranties (Surge Protector
Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment
Limited Warranty) to the original consumer of
surge protectors sold under the Philips brand
names.
These warranties apply only to natural
Connected Equipment
Warranty
purchasers of surge protectors for personal,
family or household use, not to commercial,
institutional or industrial purchasers.These
warranties are valid only in US and Canada.
Except as provided in Connected Equipment
Limited Warranty (if applicable), in no event
shall Philips be liable for any direct, indirect,
incidental, special, consequential or multiple
damage arising out of the use of the use of
Philips surge protector.
Philips warrants to the original consumer that
it will, at its sole option, repair or replace any
equipment properly connected through a Philips
surge protector to a properly wired AC power
line with protective ground and telephone/coax
lines, which is damaged by impulses from lightning,
or other power transients, or by momentary
(less than 1ms) voltage surges or spikes (an
“Occurrence”) if (a) the surge protector did not
protect the equipment (b) the surge protector
shows clear signs of damage; and (c) the damage
resulted from the Occurrence.
Limited One-YearWarranty
Philips warrants that this product shall be free
from defects in material, workmanship and
assembly, under normal use, in accordance with
the specifications and warnings, for a period of
one year from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not cover damages (a) as a
result of an accident; (b) resulting from the use
of parts not manufactured or sold by Philips;
(c) or resulting from modification of the surge
protector. After any repair or modification of
the surge protector by a facility not authorized
by Philips, any problems that arise will not be
remedied under this warranty.
These warranties extend only to the original
purchaser of the product, and are not
transferable.To exercise your rights under this
warranty, you must provide proof of purchase in
the form of an original sales receipt that shows
the product name and the date of purchase.
This warranty does not cover (a) damages
caused by acts of God, including flood, erosion, or
earthquake, but excluding lightning on products
with Power Blocker™ technology; (b) damages
caused by a sustained low voltage situation, or
a low voltage disturbance, including brownouts,
sags, or power outages; (c) damages caused by
war, vandalism, theft, normal use wear-and-tear,
depletion, obsolescence, abnormal care or uses,
or abuse; (d) damage due to non-authorized
program or system equipment modification or
alteration; or (e) damage to equipment that was
not directly connected to the surge protector at
the time of the Occurrence.
This warranty extends through the lifetime
of 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
EN

when this capacity is exceeded.The capacity of
the surge protector will be exceeded after an
occurrence.
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.
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 first 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 after a claims settlement, if applicable,
Philips 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.
This warranty is limited to surge protectors
which indicate on the packaging an accompanying
connected equipment warranty.After any repair
or modification of the surge protector by a facility
not authorized by Philips, any problems that arise
will not be remedied under this warranty.
Your Philips surge protector must be plugged
into a properly grounded outlet.All connected
equipment must be plugged directly into your
surge protector. Using any extension cord,
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 an
appropriate Philips surge protector.
To claim damage as a result of telephone service
line transients, equipment must be properly
connected to a Philips surge protector which
offers telephone line protection (see the user
manual for installation instructions), and your
telephone service equipment must include
a properly installed and operating “primary
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.
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 specified 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.
To make connected equipment warranty claim,
consumer must contact the Philips customer
service department at 888-744-5477.
