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.

However, take note that not all issues are covered by the warranty policy. Refer to the table below for information on which hardware related issues are covered by the warranty service and which issues are not.
