== Introduction==
TELTONIKA NETWORKS gives guarantee for its products for a period of '''24 months'''. All batteries carry a reduced '''6 month''' warranty period. If a product fails within mentioned warranty period the product can be:

*Repaired;
*Replaced with a new product;
*Replaced with an equivalent repaired product fulfilling the same functionality;
*Replaced with a different product fulfilling the same functionality in case of EOL for the original product.

During the '''return merchandise authorization (RMA)''' part of the warranty process, a Teltonika-Networks engineer examines the information provided by a client in an RMA request form in order to determine whether the equipment is eligible for warranty repair. The '''RMA request form''' contains company, addressing and malfunctioning product information and must be filled out by the product's owner and approved by a Teltonika-Networks engineer before returning a product.

Please note that warranty coverage does not include issues resulting from intentional damage, accidental damage, or improper use. Refer to the table below for information on which hardware related issues are covered by the warranty service and which issues are not.

==Hardware Issues ==
The table below is designed to help you determine whether your device's hardware issue is covered by our warranty service and whether it needs to be sent in for RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) or if it can be resolved on-premises. Please read the table carefully and follow the next steps provided.:

The recommended course of action when firmware issues are encountered is to contact your sales representative if the device was purchased directly from Teltonika or contact Teltonika support if HelpDesk access is provided to you. If you purchased the device elsewhere, contact the distributor that sold you the device.

<span style="color:#bb0000;"><b>IMPORTANT:</b></span> in any of the defined cases, please contact your sales representative or technical support before sending the device(s) to warranty, as without the RMA form confirmation the devices will not be accepted.
