“Limited” means that we will repair problems caused by factory defects or normal use 
at no charge. 

 

• 

Before returning a radio to us for warranty service, please call our Service Department 
for a Repair Authorization Number (RAN). This RAN must be written below your 
return address on the outside of the shipping box. Boxes, which arrive without a RAN, 
will be refused, and the shipping company will return the unopened box to you. Be sure 
to have a pen and paper ready along with the serial number of your radio before calling. 
We will give you the RAN and our shipping address over the phone. The telephone 
number of the Service Department is (760) 480-8800, and we suggest calling between 
10:00 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific Time. 

 

• 

Please include a note with a detailed description of the symptoms. This is important 
because it will help the technician who works on your radio to locate your problem. 
Intermittent problems are easily overlooked, so be sure to give as much detail as 
possible in your note. Also, please include your telephone number in case our 
technicians have any additional questions. 

 

• 

Do not send your power cord or microphone unless we ask for these items during our 
telephone conversation. 

 

• 

You are responsible for getting the radio safely to us. (We suggest using United Parcel 
Service.) You must pay to ship the radio to us, and we will pay to ship the radio back to 
you. Since we use UPS and they do not ship to Post Offices boxes, please provide us 
with a street address for the return of your radio. 

 

• 

We will repair and return your radio as soon as we can. We appreciate your choosing a 
Galaxy radio and we want you to be on the air as much as possible!
