EXCALIBUR ELECTRONICS, INC., war-
rants to the original consumer that its products
are free from any electrical or mechanical
defects for a period of ONE YEAR from the
date of purchase.  If any such defect is dis-
covered within the warranty period, EXCAL-
IBUR ELECTRONICS, INC., will repair or
replace the unit free of charge upon receipt of
the unit, shipped postage prepaid and insured
to the factory address shown at right.

The warranty covers normal consumer use and does not
cover damage that occurs in shipment or failure that results
from alterations, accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, wear and
tear, inadequate maintenance, commercial use, or unreason-
able use of the unit.  Removal of the top panel voids all war-
ranties.  This warranty does not cover cost of repairs
made or attempted outside of the factory.

Any applicable implied warranties, including war-
ranties of merchantability and fitness, are hereby
limited to ONE YEAR from the date of pur-
chase. Consequential or incidental damages
resulting from a breach of any applicable
express or implied warranties are hereby
excluded.  Some states do not allow limita-
tions on the duration of implied war-
ranties and do not allow exclusion of inci-
dental or consequential damages, so the

above limitations and exclusions in these instances may not
apply.
