Your Carvin product is guaranteed against failure for ONE YEAR.  Carvin will service and supply all

parts at no charge to the customer providing the unit is under warranty.  Shipping costs are the respon-
sibility of the customer.  CARVIN DOES NOT PAY FOR PARTS OR SERVICING OTHER THAN OUR
OWN.   A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL INVOICE IS REQUIRED TO VERIFY YOUR WARRANTY.  Carvin
assumes no responsibility for horn drivers or speakers damaged by this unit. This warranty does
not cover, and no liability is assumed, for damage due to: natural disasters, accidents, abuse, loss
of parts, lack of reasonable care, incorrect use, or failure to follow instructions.  This warranty is in
lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied. No representative or person is authorized to rep-
resent or assume for Carvin any liability in connection with the sale or servicing of Carvin products.

When RETURNING merchandise to the factory, you may call for a return authorization number.

Describe in writing each problem.  If your unit is out of warranty, you will be charged the current
FLAT RATE for parts and labor to bring your unit up to factory specifications. 

Check the power to the unit.  Check for tripped circuit breakers, unplugged extension cords or
power-strip switches that may be turned off.  Check the fuse.  If a dark brownish color or no wire
can be seen within the glass fuse, then replace.  The unit may be perfectly fine but occasionally
the fuse may blow because of high AC voltage surges.  After the fuse has been replaced with the
proper  value and if the fuse fails again, the product will require servicing (be sure to use a slow
blow fuse if required).  Check your input and speaker output cables.

Avoid spilling liquids or allowing any other foreign matter inside the unit.  The panel of your unit can
be wiped from time to time with a dry or slightly damp cloth in order to remove dust and bring back
the new look. As with all pro gear, avoid prolonged use in caustic environments (salt air).  When
used in such an environment, be sure the amplifier is adequately protected by rack, covers, etc..
