Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any PENTAX which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period should be returned to the dealer from whom you
purchased the equipment or to the manufacturer. If there is no representative of the manufacturer in your country, send the
equipment to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable le ngth of time before the
equipment can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the equ ipment is covered by
warranty , repa irs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the equ ipment will be return ed to you upon
completion of servicing. If the equipment is not covered by warranty, regular cha rges of the manufacturer or of its
representatives will apply. Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner. If your PENTM was purchased outside of the
country where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing fees may be charged
by the manufacturer's represen tatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your PENT AX returned to the manufacturer will
be serviced free of charge accord ing to this procedure and warranty policy .
In any case, however, sh ipping charges and customs clearance fees are to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of
your purchase when requ ired , please keep the receipts or bills covering the purchase of your equipment for at least a year.
Before sending your equipment for servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer's authorized
representatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly to the ma nufacturer. Always obtain a
quotation for the service charge, and on ly after you accept the quoted service charge , instruct the service station to
proceed with the servicing .
