Appendix A: Warranty Information
How you get service:
• Call 1-800-679-4776 and have your unit’s date of purchase and model/serial number ready. The model/serial
number information is on the back of your receiver.
• A representative will troubleshoot your problem over the phone.
• If the representative determines that you should receive a replacement receiver you will be provided with a
Return Authorization (RA) number and the location of a nearby exchange point if one exists. No returns
will be accepted without the RA number.
• If the representative determines that your antenna/dish is defective they will arrange for its repair or
replacement.
To receive a replacement receiver before you return yours:
If you are located near an exchange point:
1.
We will send a replacement unit to our exchange point next business day delivery in the continental U.S.A.
2. The exchange location will notify you of its arrival.
3. Take your unit and evidence of purchase date, such as a bill of sale, to the exchange location and you will
be provided the new or refurbished unit. Please retain all accessories such as the remote control hand unit.
4. If the repairs are covered by your warranty, you will not be billed.
If you are not located near an exchange point:

Provide your Discover, Mastercard or Visa account number and expiration date to your phone
representative. This is for security purposes only and your account will not be charged at this time.

3. If you return the unit to us within 14 days from the date you were provided a RA number, only items not
covered by warranty will be charged to your account. If your unit is not received within 14 days, the
suggested retail value of the receiver will be charged to your credit card. This amount will be credited if
the unit is subsequently received.
