Advisories.

Please thoroughly read this booklet before using your Audio Link. Keep these instructions easily accessible for all users. When sharing this device with third parties, always provide the booklet.
In the unlikely event of a problem with your Audio Link, it is recommended that you switch to an alternate communication method and use standard cockpit resource management skills to minimize potential distractions.
Please be aware that aircraft sounds, such as engines, propellers, and warning alarms, etc.,
may sound different when using your new headset.
When listening to an audio source via your Faro Audio Link, please limit the volume to safe levels to ensure you are able to hear your aircraft’s communication and warning alarms.
Do not attempt to disassemble or service the inside of the ear cups or other parts of the headset. Doing so will void your warranty and may result in unexpectedly poor headset performance.

Product Warranty.

6-MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY FOR NEW AUDIO LINKS SOLD BY FARO AVIATION.
Faro Aviation, LLC (“Faro Aviation”) warrants that the new aviation accessories sold by Faro Aviation (“New Accessory”) are free from all material defects in workmanship and materials. For the New Accessory, all warranties provided by Faro Aviation and all implied warranties imposed by law are limited to a 6-Month period, beginning on the purchase date shown on the New Accessory’s sales receipt (“Warranty Period”). This 3-Year Limited Warranty (“Limited Warranty”) is provided solely for the benefit of the initial purchaser of the New Accessory (“Purchaser”), and it excludes all 3rd parties, including distributors, dealers, retailers, subsequent owners, and other users of the New
Accessory. This Limited Warranty is not assignable and remains in full force and effect during the Warranty Period, but only if the New Accessory:
(a) has been properly maintained;
(b) has not been abused or misused; and
(c) has not been repaired, altered, or modified without Faro Aviation’s approval.
This Limited Warranty specifically excludes all taxes, shipping costs, and problems relating to any:

1. repair, alteration, or modification not approved by Faro Aviation;
2. abuse or failure to properly maintain the New Accessory;
3. faulty workmanship by any person, except Faro Aviation or its approved agent;
4. operation of the New Accessory, except as specified in its operating manual;
5. ordinary wear and tear; or
6. finish and appearance item. For each claim made under this Limited Warranty (“Claim”), Purchaser must, within 10 days of discovering a New Accessory problem indicating a breach of this Limited Warranty, deliver to Faro Aviation a written notice that explains in detail the New Accessory’s specific defect, that shows proof of Purchaser’s purchase of the New Accessory before the end of the Warranty Period, and that shows proof that this Limited Warranty applies to the New Accessory. Faro Aviation or its agent may investigate any Claim.

Faro Aviation or its agent may investigate any Claim. For each Claim, Faro Aviation may, in its sole discretion, choose any of the following exclusive remedies:
(I) repair or replace the New Accessory or any part thereof with same or similar Accessory, without charge to Purchaser, but the first Purchaser must return the New Accessory to Faro Aviation’s authorized repair facility, pre- paying all shipping charges, and Purchaser must accept the same as repaired or replaced at the facility’s location (i.e., FOB the facility) within 10 days of the date of Faro Aviation’s completion notice sent to Purchaser, or else Faro Aviation will deem the New Accessory abandoned, in which case Faro Aviation may keep, sell, or otherwise discard it, or
(II) refund the New Accessory’s purchase price to Purchaser. Without paying any amount to Purchaser, Faro Aviation may keep, sell, or otherwise discard all replaced New Accessories and parts thereof and all New Accessories where Faro Aviation has refunded the purchase price to Purchaser.
In repairing or replacing any New Accessory, Faro Aviation may, in its sole discretion, use new, used, or reconditioned parts or provide a refurbished used accessory as a  replacement. In connection therewith, Faro Aviation warrants that all new, used, or reconditioned parts or refurbished used accessories will be free from all material defects in
workmanship and materials during the Warranty Period and for a period of up to 90 days thereafter, but only to the extent that such event occurs during the final 90 days of the Warranty Period. Faro Aviation may, in its sole discretion, (i) establish separate, additional, non-warranty repair and replacement programs for any new or used accessory (“Non-Warranty Service Programs”), (ii) the Non-Warranty Service Programs may cover any time period, before or after any Warranty Period has expired, and (iii) charge any amount and impose any term with respect to any Non-Warranty Service Program. For Non- Warranty Service Programs, Faro Aviation warrants that all new, used, reconditioned, or refurbished parts and accessories used to repair or replace any accessory will be free from all material defects in workmanship and materials, but only for a limited period of 90 days thereafter. Purchaser acknowledges that used or reconditioned parts may be used to repair any new or used accessory and that a refurbished used accessory may be provided as a replacement for any new or used accessory.
Faro Aviation may hire a 3rd party to repair or replace any new or used accessory. “Including” means “including, but not limited to.”

IF, AFTER A REASONABLE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS, THE DEFECT REMAINS UNFIXED, THE PURCHASER MAY RETURN THE NEW HEADSET FOR REPLACEMENT OR REFUND, SUBJECT TO A REASONABLE DEDUCTION FOR THE PURCHASER’S USE OF THE NEW HEADSET. ANY EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD DOES NOT AFFECT ANY PROTECTION OR REMEDY AVAILABLE TO THE PURCHASER UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
