WARRANTY

Congratulations on choosing this mobile phone - we hope that you
will be totally satisfied with it.
Notwithstanding any other applicable statutory warranties, this
mobile phone and the battery are guaranteed against any
manufacturing defect for a period of ONE (1) year from the date of
purchase shown on your invoice. Nevertheless if the statutory
warranty in force in your country exceeds one (1) year, the statutory
warranty is not affected by the manufacturer's warranty. The present
warranty terms also apply to the accessories but for a period of SIX
(6) months from the date of purchase shown on your invoice.
Under the terms of this warranty, you must inform your dealer or
any maintenance centre (see list of maintenance centres at our
website - www.alcatel.com) without delay, of any defect and present
the invoice given to you at the time of purchase.
The dealer will decide whether to replace or repair, as appropriate,
all or any part of the equipment (telephone or accessory) found to
be defective. This warranty covers the cost of parts and labour but
excludes any other costs. Repair or replacement may be carried out
using reconditioned components offering equivalent functionality.
Servicing under the terms of this warranty, especially repair,
modification or replacement of parts shall entitle to a three month
warranty unless there are statutory provisions to the contrary.

• modifications, alterations, or repairs carried out by parties not
authorised by Alcatel, the dealer or the approved maintenance
centre,

was designed,
• normal wear,

produced by other equipment, fluctuations in mains voltage and/or
voltages on telephone lines, etc),
• modifications made to the equipment even if they are unavoidable
due to changes in regulations and/or modification of network
parameters,

or caused by the absence of radio relay coverage.
