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.
