IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Philips TAR3500/00 is designed as an emergency and backup radio rather than a two-way communication device. It receives AM/FM broadcasts but does not provide Bluetooth connectivity, an audio input or two-way radio communication.
AAA batteries are not included. Specifications may be subject to change by the manufacturer.
Philips TAR3500/00 combines essential emergency features in one compact device: AM/FM radio reception, multiple charging methods, power-bank functionality, SOS siren, flashlight, reading light and emergency signaling features—all in a portable IP55-rated design.

In the unlikely event that your product has arrived damaged by the courier, we would request you to notify the driver of delivery as an official notice to the carrier and advise us immediately within 72 hours.
We advise all our customers to check their items for any visible packaging damage/dents/ scratches or missing parts upon delivery so to make sure we can claim and assist you swiftly. We would kindly request you to either sign for the delivery as “item received damaged or packaging damaged” as proof for reference and to advise us to raise with the courier company a claim.

All products sold on the website are covered with the 12 months manufacturer’s warranty (sometimes longer depending on the manufacturer).
Should your product become faulty within the first 28 days after it was delivered to you, we will replace the item for you without any charge using a pre-paid label which will be emailed to you.
However, your item will need to be inspected first. Any self-damage or misuse is not covered under the terms of the warranty and return policy.
Kindly Note: Please ensure the goods are packed safely in their original packaging as received, along with all other items and accessories.
After we have received your product in our warehouse, our engineers will inspect the fault highlighted and contact you.
Important notice: time limit for notification of claims: If goods arrive in a damaged condition you must inform us within 7 days of the date of delivery and we will either replace the goods at no charge or refund any money paid by you for the goods once we have notified the courier company and the claim has been approved by them.

Plasma/LCD Screens: Please note that today’s production techniques cannot guarantee an absolutely perfect Plasma/LCD screen display and buyers should be aware of the possibility of imperfections in the form of a few isolated constantly lit or unlit pixels (or stuck pixels). As a result of this, there is a commonly accepted tolerance level by which Plasma/LCD screens may display such imperfections without being classified as faulty. As such, we can only take back displays as faulty for refund/repair if the number of affected pixels exceeds the manufacturer’s guidelines, subject to the Terms and Conditions. Please check with the relevant manufacturer as to their tolerance level.
