Service Under Warranty
During the warranty period, defective units will
be repaired without charge to the purchaser when
returned with a dated store receipt to the address
below. Units returned without a dated store
receipt will be handled as described in section

testing a Laser-Radar receiver, there are no
authorized service stations for Whistler brand
detectors other than Whistler.
When returning a unit for service, please follow
these instructions:
1. Ship the unit in the original carton or in a
suitable sturdy equivalent, fully insured, with
return receipt requested to:

WARRANTY INFORMATION
3. Be certain your unit is returned with its serial
number. For reference, please write your unit’s
serial number in the following space:

Units without serial numbers are not covered under warranty.
Important: To validate that your unit is within
the warranty period, make sure you keep a

warranty verification purposes, a

ice rates when:
The unit’s original warranty has expired.
