Earmark is proud to produce
a quality, rugged product that is designed for use in tough industrial environments. The true sign of a company committed to excellence in our marketplace is shown by the commitment to both design excellence AND customer service. At Earmark, we have gone one step further by ensuring that the experience that we gain in service is used in designing all of our products, making our products excellent for use in tough environments. But ultimately, all products will require some level of service, especially after long periods of hard use (some of the first products that we produced are still in service).
At Earmark, we are committed to making your service experience painless. We provide two levels of service with every product that we produce
Phone Support
You can always call Earmark for help with an operational problem. Just dial our toll free number (USA only) or our direct number and ask to speak to one of our service people. Whether you have difficulty with your initial installation or have noticed a change in your equipment's performance, it is very likely that we can diagnose and hopefully fix the problem over the phone.
The Repair Process
In the event that service is required for your Earmark product, we ask that you follow this simple procedure:
Pack the product in a rugged cardboard container. We recommend that headsets be sent to us in their plastic carrying cases for protection.
In the package include a piece of paper that has at the very least your contact information (contact name, phone/#, company name, shipping address), a problem description, and special shipping instructions, if desired (we ship Fedex 3-day if not specified). If an RMA number is required, call our service department and put this number on your paper. If you require an estimate before repairs are started, please write "INSPECT AND NOTIFY". Note: there is a $50 per radio inspection fee if you do not choose to repair the radio. Also, radios will be sent back at customer expense.
Ship the container to Earmark - Attn: Service, 1125 Dixwell Ave, Hamden, CT 06514 USA.
While not required, we recommend that you also fax the paper to 203-777-2886 so that we know to expect a shipment from you
All repairs are handled at Earmark equally - whether they are in or out of warranty. Once your equipment is checked in and inspected by our technicians, repairs will be started unless you have indicated "INSPECT AND NOTIFY" (in which case you will be sent an estimate and your equipment will be set aside until you give the ok to proceed with payment information. Remember, this is an estimate... the final charge may be slightly different if we detect additional damage during the repair process. Also remember that you will be charged an inspection fee if you do not repair the
radio). Once repairs are done, you will be contacted by the service coordinator with an exact list of charges (if any). In the event that any charges are incurred, you will also be asked for payment information (credit card , prepayment, or purchase order).
We hope that you enjoy using your Earmark product. As always, we look forward to your comments and suggestions. Please feel free to contact us by phone, fax, or on the web.
All boards are tested before shipping
All hardware is checked thoroughly
Shipping
All repair work will be shipped back to you in the same timeframe that it was sent to us. For instance, if you sent your repair work using a 2-day carrier then it will be shipped back 2-day (we will use Federal Express, however). If you are unsure whether your equipment is still under warranty, please look in the table below or call our service supervisor.
"Inspect and Notify" equipment will be kept a maximum of 30 days after which it will be returned to the customer at his expense.
