BINOCULAR/DIGITAL CAMERA LIMITED WARRANTY
Every Meade binocular/digital camera is warranted by Meade Instruments Corporation (“Meade”) to
be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of original
purchase in the U.S.A. and Canada. At its option, Meade will repair or replace the product, or part
thereof, found upon inspection by Meade to be defective, provided the defective part or product is
returned to Meade, freight prepaid, with proof of purchase. This warranty applies to the original 
purchaser only and is non-transferable. Meade products purchased outside North America are not
included in this warranty, but are covered under separate warranties issued by Meade International
Distributors.

RGA Number Required: Prior to the return of any product or part, a Return Goods Authorization
(RGA) number must be obtained from Meade by writing, or by calling Meade Customer Service at
(800) 62-MEADE. Each returned part or product must include a written statement detailing the nature
of the claimed defect, as well as the owner’s name, address, and phone number.

This warranty is not valid in cases where the product has been abused or mishandled, where 
unauthorized repairs have been attempted or performed, or where depreciation of the product is due
to normal wear-and tear. Meade specifically disclaims special, indirect, or consequential damages or
lost profit, which may result from a breach of this warranty. Any implied warranties which cannot be
disclaimed are hereby limited to a term of one year from the date of original retail purchase.

This warranty gives you specific rights. You may have other rights which vary from state to state.
Meade reserves the right to change product specifications or to discontinue productions without
prior notice. This warranty supersedes all previous Meade binocular warranties.

ANY RETURN MADE IN THE U.S.A. UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY MUST FOLLOW THIS 
PROCEDURE:

1. Carefully package your binocular/digital camera to avoid shipping damage; use a thick-walled

carton box for mailing.

2. Enclose a written statement detailing the exact nature of the service needed. Be sure to include

the RGA number, your name, address, plus daytime and evening telephone numbers.

3. Enclose $10.00 to cover handling and return-shipping, by check or money order payable to

“Meade Instruments.” Non-warranty repairs may entail additional charges which will be 
confirmed with you before any binocular/digital camera repairs are initiated.

4. Insure the package and send your binocular/digital camera, freight prepaid, to:

Meade Instruments Corporation,

Attn : Binocular/Digital Camera Repair

6001 Oak Canyon, Irvine, California 92618
