– Opening the device (this is classed as third-party intervention)
– Manipulating components on the printed circuit board
– Manipulating the software
– Defects or damage caused by dropping, breaking, lightning or ingress of
moisture. This also applies if defects or damage were caused by mechanical,
chemical, radio interference or thermal factors (e.g. microwave, sauna, etc.).
– Repairs or other work done by persons not authorised by us.
– Devices fitted with accessories not authorised by Siemens.

Any further claims due to damage are excluded, such as damage arising outside the
device, provided this was not due to gross negligence and/or intent on our part.
◆
Claims under the guarantee must be made as soon as the defect is noticed.

A till receipt showing the date of purchase must be presented as proof. Each claim
under the guarantee is accepted with the express reservation that subsequent
investigations confirm the validity of the claim.

Any devices or components that are replaced become our property.

We are entitled, at our discretion, to make technical changes (such as firmware

The guarantee is valid in the country of purchase. It applies only if the device is
