Asia, this warranty runs for one year from the date of purchase. The term of any warranties
implied by law shall expire when your limited warranty expires. Some states and/or Member

failure that occurs as a result of: improper installation; misuse or failure to follow the product
directions; abuse; or use with improper, unintended or faulty equipment. (For information on

require a replacement manual, you may download a manual from www.alteclansing.com.)

because you are responsible for the product until it arrives at Altec Lansing.
