  • The RMA process cannot begin until the signed and completed form has been returned.
  • Once the form is returned, the Technical Support department will coordinate the return of the product for investigation.
  • Proper packaging and removal of the mounting brackets are required steps to follow to avoid any damage during transit.
  • Damaged antenna(s) and/or installed brackets affect our ability to test the antennas and will void the RMA.

RESOLUTION

It is recommended for the installation crew to again call Technical Support during the installation/testing of the replacement unit to ensure successful completion of the RMA process.

PLEASE NOTE

There are circumstances in which a Purchase Order and payment will be requested for the replacement antenna and freight costs.  These include:

  • If a replacement is required and there is not enough time for evaluation of the existing product.
  • If the failure cannot be replicated once it has been received back at the factory.
  • If units have been damaged either internally or externally.
  • If the faulty product is not received by Amphenol Antenna Solutions within 30 days of the replacement being delivered.
