The 2505 is covered by a two-year hardware-only warranty,
which, in summary, states that if the 2505 is returned to the
Northstar factory by the owner or dealer during the warranty
period, Northstar will repair or replace, free of charge, any part
found to be defective due to faulty materials or workmanship if
the system has been properly installed and hasn't been abused.
See the Limited Warranty Policy at the front of this manual for
further details. The only cost to the owner will be the one-way
shipping charges and any associated charges that may be
imposed by the dealer. If you have overnight or second-day
shipping requirements, before shipping the 2505, please call
Northstar for turnaround time, freight charges, and payment
arrangements.
The 2505 should be shipped only in a properly designed carton
