During the '''return merchandise authorization (RMA)''' part of the warranty process, an engineer examines the information provided by a client in an RMA request form in order to determine whether the equipment is eligible repair, replacement or a refund. The '''RMA request form''' contains company, addressing and malfunctioning product information and must be filled out by the product's owner and approved by a Teltonika Telematics engineer before returning a product.

The recommended course of action when firmware issues are encountered is to contact your sales representative if the device was purchased directly from Teltonika or contact Teltonika support if VIP HelpDesk access is provided to you. If you purchased the device elsewhere, contact the distributor that sold you the device.
