avalanche transceivers
Avalanche transceivers are rescue devices, which need to be fully functional as they may be crucial for saving lives. Therefore it is essential to return your transceiver for a factory service according to the date indicated on the test seal.
We suggest that you send your transceiver back during the summer months to ensure that you have a fully tested device at the beginning of the winter season.

If you have not yet registered your device, it is important that you retain your proof of purchase and send us a copy of it in the event of service. Only then can you make a claim under the statutory warranty.
Within the period of warranty, faulty parts will be repaired or replaced free of charge. Defects caused by wear and tear or improper use (like battery leakage, liquid in the casing,…) are excluded from warranty. Earphones and batteries are also excluded from warranty.
