bail wire. Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner.

Limited Warranty
Subject to the Limitations, Exclusions and Disclaimers hereof, InFocus Cor-
poration (“InFocus”) warrants that the Projector, Lamps and Accessories 
(hereinafter collectively or individually referred to as “Product” as appro-
priate) purchased from InFocus, an InFocus distributor, or an InFocus 
reseller will conform to InFocus’ specifications and be free from defects in 
material or workmanship for the respective Limited Warranty period pro-
vided below. InFocus does not warrant that the Product will meet the spe-
cific requirements of the end-user customer. 
If the Product while subject to this Limited Warranty, is defective in material 
or workmanship during the warranty period, then InFocus, at its option
, 
will REPAIR or REPLACE the Product. 
All exchanged parts and Products replaced under this Limited Warranty 
will become property of InFocus. InFocus’ sole obligation
 is to supply (or 
pay for) all labor necessary to repair the Product found to be defective 
within the Limited Warranty period and to repair or replace defective parts 
with new parts or, at the option of InFocus
, serviceable used parts that are 
equivalent or superior to new parts performance. Limited Warranty periods 
are as follows:

replacement Lamps purchased at the time of Projector Product pur-
chase will have a 500 hours usage Limited Warranty period.

ranty if the Product has been damaged due to abuse, misuse, neglect, smoke 
exposure (cigarette or otherwise), accident, unusual physical or electrical 
stress, unauthorized modifications (including use of an unauthorized

authorized agents, causes other than from ordinary use or failure to prop-
erly use the Product in the application for which said Product was intended.
This Limited Warranty excludes Product cleaning, repair, or replacement of 
plastics due to cosmetic damage and damage as a result of normal wear.

uct for personal or business use and not for the purpose of distribution or 
resale). SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY GRANT YOU CONSUMER RIGHTS

ber of the Product. Upon request of InFocus Corporation or an authorized repair center for

chase, to the manufacturer (Purchaser must bear all tax, duty and freight),

Warranty period as to the entire Product. Warranty on the repair part and 
workmanship shall only be effective for a period of ninety (90) days follow-
ing the repair or replacement of that part or the remaining period of the 
Product Limited Warranty whichever is greater.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT INFOCUS’ LIABILITY 
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT, UNDER ANY WARRANTY, IN 
NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE RETURN OF 
THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY PURCHASER AND 
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL INFOCUS BE LIABLE FOR SPE-
CIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR 
LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES OR LOST SAVINGS. THE PRICE 
STATED FOR THE PRODUCTS IS A CONSIDERATION IN LIMITING
