MODULE EXCHANGE SERVICE
In order to provide Nautel customers with a fast and efficient service in the event of a problem, Nautel operates a
factory rebuilt, module exchange service which takes full advantage of the high degree of module redundancy in
Nautel equipment. This module exchange service is operated from Nautel’s factory in Bangor, Maine and Hackett’s
Cove, Nova Scotia. These two locations allow us to provide a quick turn around service to keep our customers on
the air. During the transmitter’s warranty period, up to thirteen months from shipment, repair and exchange of
modules is at no charge to the customer. When the warranty has expired, a charge of 80% of the list price for all
exchanged modules is made. If the faulty module is returned to Nautel within 30 days, a credit is issued reducing
this charge by one half to 40% of the list price. U.S.A. customers are required to contact our Bangor, Maine facility.
Canadian and overseas customers should contact our Nova Scotia, Canada facility.
