Technical Support Policy

If you have a problem installing your system or suspect it is malfunctioning, please contact the Authorized MicroNet Reseller from whom you purchased the system. If the reseller fails to resolve the problem, please visit our support page at www.micronet.com/support, or call MicroNet’s Help Desk for assistance at (310) 320-0772. Please have the model, serial number, date of purchase, and the reseller’s name available before calling. If possible, call from a telephone near the system so we can more readily direct you to make any necessary system corrections, should they be required.

Returning Materials

If a reseller or MicroNet Technician finds it necessary to have the system returned for testing or servicing, a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number will be issued. The RMA number must be placed on the outside of the carton in large, visible letters near the address label. Return the complete system including all cables and software. The system must be packed in the original packing materials and shipped prepaid. MicroNet will repair the system and return it prepaid by similar common carrier and priority. Please record the RMA number and make reference to it when inquiring on the status of the system. A returned unit found to be fault-free will carry a $65.00 charge for service and repackaging.
