Module Repair Service
During the transmitter’s warranty period, repair of modules is performed at no charge to the customer. Once the warranty period has expired, module repairs will be invoiced based on material and labour costs.
Module Exchange Service
North American Customers Only
North American customers can take advantage of Nautel’s module exchange service. This service gives customers a fast and efficient solution in the event of a hardware problem. When a customer’s transmitter experiences a failure, Nautel can send out a factory rebuilt module to replace the faulty module. Nautel’s two locations, Canada and the United States, provide quick turn around times, keeping our customers on the air.
During the transmitter’s warranty period, exchange of modules is performed at no charge to the customer. Once the warranty has expired, the cost of a module exchange is only 40% of the list price for the module, provided the faulty module is returned to Nautel within 30 days and can be rebuilt; should the module not be returned an additional invoice for 40% of the list price will be issued.
