rental firm, whichever comes first.
What we will do:

How you get service:
• Call 1-800-951-9582 and have your unit's date of purchase and model/serial number ready.
The model/serial number information is on the back of your unit.
• A representative will troubleshoot your problem over the phone.
• If the representative determines that you should receive a replacement unit you will be
provided with a Service Request (SR) number and the location of a nearby exchange point if
one exists. No returns will be accepted without the SR number.

items not covered by warranty will be charged to your account. If your unit is not received
within 14 days, the suggested retail value of the receiver will be charged to your credit card.
This amount will be credited, less a $10 handling fee, if the unit is subsequently received.

will be included on the carton along with your SR number which will allow you to easily ship
