Warranty Service and Returned Merchandise Authorizations (RMAs)
Patton Electronics is an ISO-9001 certified manufacturer and our products are carefully tested before ship-
ment. All of our products are backed by a comprehensive warranty program.
Note
If you purchased your equipment from a Patton Electronics reseller, ask your
reseller how you should proceed with warranty service. It is often more con-
venient for you to work with your local reseller to obtain a replacement.
Patton services our products no matter how you acquired them.
Warranty coverage
Our products are under warranty to be free from defects, and we will, at our option, repair or replace the prod-
uct should it fail within one year from the first date of shipment. Our warranty is limited to defects in work-
manship or materials, and does not cover customer damage, lightning or power surge damage, abuse, or
unauthorized modification.
Out-of-warranty service
Patton services what we sell, no matter how you acquired it, including malfunctioning products that are no
longer under warranty. Our products have a flat fee for repairs. Units damaged by lightning or other catastro-
phes may require replacement.
Returns for credit
Customer satisfaction is important to us, therefore any product may be returned with authorization within 30
days from the shipment date for a full credit of the purchase price. If you have ordered the wrong equipment or
you are dissatisfied in any way, please contact us to request an RMA number to accept your return. Patton is
not responsible for equipment returned without a Return Authorization.
