Advanced Unit Replacement Warranty Service
Your HP Limited Warranty may include an advanced unit replacement warranty service. Under the 
terms of the advanced unit replacement warranty service, HP will ship a replacement unit directly to 
you if the HP Hardware Product you purchased is diagnosed as defective. On receiving the 
replacement unit, you will be required to return the defective unit back to HP, in the packaging that 
arrives with the replacement unit, within a defined period of time, normally five (5) days. HP will 
incur all shipping and insurance costs to return the defective unit to HP. Failure to return the 
defective unit may result in HP billing you for the replacement unit. HP provides advanced unit 
replacement service during standard office hours. Standard office hours are typically 08.00 to 17.00, 
Monday through Friday, but may vary with local business practices. If your location is outside the 
customary service zone (typically 50km / 31 miles) response times may be longer or there may be 
additional charges. To locate the nearest HP authorized service provider refer to the HP Web site at

Carry-in Warranty Service 
Your HP Limited Warranty may include a carry-in warranty service. Under the terms of carry-in 
service, you will be required to deliver your HP Hardware Product to an authorized service location 
for warranty repair. You must prepay any shipping charges, taxes, or duties associated with 
transportation of the product to and from the service location. In addition, you are responsible for

On-site Warranty Service
Your HP Limited Warranty may include an on-site warranty service. Under the terms of on-site 
service, HP may, at its sole discretion, determine if a defect can be repaired:
■
Remotely
■
By the use of a CSR part
■
By a service call at the location of the defective unit
If HP ultimately determines that an on-site service call is required to repair a defect, the call will be 
scheduled during standard office hours unless otherwise stated for the HP Hardware Product you 
purchased. Standard office hours are typically 08:00 to 17:00, Monday through Friday, but may vary 
with local business practices. If the location of the defective unit is outside the customary service
