What does your warranty cover?
- Any defect in materials or workmanship
that arises during the term of this warranty.
What is the duration of your warranty?
- 12 months from purchase date, for labor
and parts.
- All warranty claims must be made during
the 12-month period.
What will we do?
- Repair or replace, at S-A's option,

- We will repair or replace defective
Product or parts with new or reconditioned Modem or parts at our option.
All repair or replacement of the Modem must be performed by S-A or an
S-A Authorized Service Provider. Reconditioned Modem or parts will be
equal in performance to the original Modem or parts. All original Modem
or parts replaced by S-A become property of S-A. Any replaced or repaired
Modem or part is warranted under the same terms as this Limited Warranty
for a period of 90 days after the date of repair or replacement, or
for the remainder of the initial warranty period, whichever is longer.
How do you obtain warranty service?
- In order to receive warranty service,
you must contact S-A at the toll-free number provided below within 30
days after discovering that your Modem has a defect in materials or
workmanship. Proof of purchase for the Modem may be required in order
to validate warranty eligibility. If the Modem requires service, you
will be given a return authorization number and instructions for shipping
the Modem to S-A or the location of the nearest S-A Authorized Service
Provider. You must pre-pay all transportation, taxes, duties and insurance
charges incurred for shipment to S-A or an Authorized Service Provider,
and properly pack the Modem for shipment in the original packaging or
equivalent. You will not be reimbursed for these expenses. If the Modem
is not insured and the Modem is lost or damaged during transit, you
are responsible for such loss or damage.

Manual clearly describes how to install, adjust, and operate your Modem.
Any additional information should be obtained from your dealer).

materials or workmanship are not covered by this warranty. Costs of
such repairs are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
What additional provisions should I
be aware of?
- Because it is impossible for us to know
the purposes for which you acquired this Modem or the uses to which
you will put this Modem, you assume full responsibility for the selection
of the Modem and for its installation and use. While every reasonable
effort has been made to insure that you will receive a Modem that you
can use and enjoy, S-A does not warrant that the functions of the Modem
will meet your requirements or that the operation of the Modem will
be uninterrupted or error-free. S-A is not responsible for problems
caused by changes in the operating characteristics of the hardware or
software you are using which are made after the release date of the
version of software accompanying the Modem, nor for problems in the
interaction of the Modem with any other software or hardware.
How does state law or province law relate
to this warranty?
This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
What if you purchased your Modem outside
the United States?
