This document defines the Standard Warranty, Extended Warranty, Customer Care
and Fixed Price Repair policies for the Sepura 2000 and 3000 Series of products and
provides a recommendation on the levels of spares that should be held.
It supersedes all previous 2000 and 3000 series Sepura Warranty Bulletins and
defines the warranty period for earpieces and the GSM Style Handsfree Kit as well as
the first line spares for the 3000 series mobile.
The standard warranty period for the Series 2000 and 3000 terminals is three years
from delivery date but may vary under certain contractual conditions.
The warranty period for the battery supplied with a hand-held terminal or supplied as a
separate accessory is 12 months from delivery date. The standard battery has an
operational life that is typical for this battery technology. This is at least 500 charge
cycles, which means an operational life of greater than two years for a typical work
pattern (i.e. on a personal issue basis of one shift per day, five working days per week
and up to forty-eight working weeks per year).
Warranty on accessories varies according to type and manufacturer terms.
Customer Care services covering hardware and software support are offered to the
customer or the customers In-Territory Repairer. Sepura also offers a Fixed Price
Repair service for products no longer covered by Standard Warranty or a Customer
Care contract.
A Sepura Help Desk forms part of the support framework for customers and acts as a
single point of contact for customers raising queries or reporting faults.
A summary of the salient features of these policies is shown in the table of Appendix 1
and a diagram comparing the applicable timescale is given in Appendix 2.

On experiencing a problem with a terminal or terminal accessory the customer should
immediately report the problem to its Sepura accredited In-Territory Repair centre if
they have one, otherwise to Sepura in Cambridge, UK.
The In-Territory Repair centre or Sepura will take the following actions;
Perform a test on the suspected product.
If applicable perform minor cosmetic repairs such as replacing the
antenna/rotary knob.
For more complex problems implement a short-term work-around if
applicable and possible.
If the problem cannot be resolved then replace the terminal or accessory
with a working unit from a buffer stock of spares.

If an In-Territory Repair centre has been used for the steps above, it will then contact
the Sepura Help Desk and arrange for the faulty item to be returned to Sepura for
repair or replacement. The In-Territory Repair centre may report a product fault to the
Sepura Help Desk by email or by telephone during the working days of Monday to
Friday inclusive from 08:30 to 16:30 (UK time) each day, but excluding UK Public
Holidays.
The Sepura customer support e-mail address is customer.returns@sepura.com.

Sepura will allocate a Return Material Authorisation (RMA) number to the logged fault.
This number acts as the definitive reference for both the customer and Sepura, and
enables the faulty item to be tracked right through the repair cycle. Sepura expects
the In-Territory Repair centre to provide an accurate and detailed description of the
fault for inclusion on this log.
Sepura will repair or replace the faulty unit in accordance with contracted turn-round
times and subject to the cause of the fault being a result of fair wear and tear.
If after examination Sepura cannot verify the reported fault the product is returned to
the customer in an as received state and a No Fault Found charge will be made to
cover the costs of this examination.
A faulty product deemed by Sepura to be Beyond Economic Repair is replaced free
of charge when the terminal is under Warranty, Extended Warranty or Customer Care.
Typically a product is deemed to be Beyond Economic Repair if the cost of repair,
including fault assessment time, exceeds 50% of the cost of a replacement, or, if a
trained faultfinder cannot identify the fault after two hours work on the product.

Sepura will endeavour to return repaired terminals with the same version of application
software, unless this version has been superseded by a new version of software
offering the same functionality and the old version has been discontinued for more
than 12 (twelve) months. If a new version has to be supplied in this context then it is
done so free of charge.
Repaired terminals will be returned with Application software only, it is the
responsibility of the In-Territory Repair centre to correctly configure the terminal.
Sepura expects the In-Territory Repair centre to purchase a Sepura Terminal
Programming Tool and the associated training programme so that it can configure
Sepura radio Terminals.
Where a terminal incorporates Air Interface Encryption, the In-Territory Repair centre
and/or authorised organisation that has control of the Cipher Keys is responsible for
loading the relevant secure Cipher Keys into the terminal. This is done via a Sepura
Standalone Key Management System tool to the security standards defined in the
Customers contract with the In-Territory Repair centre and/or authorised organisation.
If a returned product is found to have been tampered with by unauthorised personnel
Sepura will levy a Tampered With charge.
Sepura will pay the return shipping costs for verified Standard Warranty, Customer
Care and Fixed Price Repair repairs and the Customer/In-Territory Repair centre pays
for the shipment of the faulty product to the Sepura designated repair location.
For repairs to terminals where the fault is not due to 'Fair Wear & Tear' Sepura will
quote for the repair. It is possible that the quote will be for a complete replacement
terminal. This approach applies whether or not the terminal is under Warranty or under
Customer Care.
Fair Wear & Tear is;
Damage or failure sustained by a product following normal field operational use within
the specified limits of the product.

Fair Wear & Tear is NOT damage due to:
Accidents
Use outside the products normal operational limits
Continued use of a product that is in need of repair
Contamination, submergence, ingress, drop, impact, humidity, temperature
or vibration outside the products stated parameters
Storage outside the products specified parameters
Solar and/or particle radiation
Electrostatic, electrical and magnetic stress
Incorrect fitment of accessories or spare parts
Unauthorised or improper repair, configuration, programming of product
Continued use of a product requiring an essential hardware or software
update

The radio terminals are warranted free from defects due to faulty design, workmanship
or materials for a period of 36 (thirty six) months from the date of delivery, but may

similarly warranted for 12 (twelve) months from date of delivery, with earpieces and
GSM style handsfree kit for 3 (three) months.
Radio terminal batteries are warranted against electrical and mechanical failure for 12
(twelve) months from the date of delivery. As with all batteries charging cycles reduce
the cell capacity. The battery is specified to have retained a nominal 80% of its
original capacity after 500 charge cycles. Charging must be conducted using a Sepura
approved charger.
Sepura shall at its option repair or replace any such product or part thereof that is
found to be defective. Sepuras target is to return the repair or replacement within 15
(fifteen) working days from receipt by Sepura.
The warranty shall not apply where the hardware is defective arising from misuse,
abnormal working conditions, wrongful or incorrect storage, alteration or repair of the
hardware and/or software without the written approval of Sepura.
Sepura does not offer warranty on Sepura products that are used in conjunction with a
non-approved accessory.
Sepura does not warrant the application software to be error free. In the case of
defects in software, Sepura shall use all reasonable endeavours to correct such
defects at the earliest opportunity or replace the software at its option. Defect
correction shall be limited to those software defects that materially affect the
performance of the product and which have been discovered within the first twelve
months from the date of delivery.
5 5. . E EX XT TE EN ND DE ED D W WA AR RR RA AN NT TY Y
The Standard Warranty can be extended on the terminals by either 12 months or 24
months. Extended Warranty must be ordered from Sepura at the time the terminal is
purchased. It is not offered on Sepura products that are used in conjunction with non-
approved accessories.
Warranty on terminal accessories, including batteries, is not extended.
Terms regarding repair time and application software defects are as per Standard

Software functionality is comprehensively tested, however, it cannot be tested in every
possible permutation and accordingly Sepura does not warrant that the Application
Software will be free of all defects or that its use will be uninterrupted.

In the case of defects in application software contained in terminal products, Sepura
shall use all reasonable endeavours to correct such defects at the earliest opportunity
or replace it at its option.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned, Sepura warrants that the application software is
free from;
Viruses that could have been detected by using the latest (at the date of dispatch)
standard, commercially available virus detection software
and,
Forms of electronic possession and logic bombs, which expressions shall have
meanings as they are generally understood within the computing industry.

Where software defects are discovered and notified to Sepura, Sepura agrees to
respond and correct such errors. The manner and speed of the response is
dependent upon the Error Priority assigned by Sepura and defined below;

Error Priority A:
This priority will be assigned to errors that are recurring, catastrophic failures for which
no viable work around exist. Errors given this priority are those that render the
Product or any substantial functionality of the Product, unusable.

Sepura shall use its reasonable endeavours to provide a work around, where possible,
within 7 (seven) working days of the report of the error and a code correction within 30
(thirty) working days from the day Sepura has received the notice of the error. After
the said seven day period and until a code correction is delivered, Sepura shall report
at reasonable intervals its continuing efforts and progress in producing a code
correction.

Error Priority B:
This priority will be assigned to those errors that result in serious inconvenience to the
users of the Product or that substantially impact the work operation, and for which no
viable work around exists.

Sepura shall use all reasonable endeavours to provide an avoidance procedure within
30 (thirty) working days of the report of the error and a code correction within 4 (four
months) months from the date Sepura received the notice of the error. After the said
thirty day period and until a code correction is delivered, Sepura shall report at
reasonable intervals its continuing efforts and progress in producing a code correction.

Error Priority C:
Errors given this priority are those that can easily be avoided, worked around or
accommodated without any serious loss in functionality. Sepura shall use all
reasonable endeavours to provide an error avoidance procedure within a reasonable
period of time.

Notes:
1. An error with Priority C may be inherently fixed as a result of a software upgrade
resulting from the clearance of a Priority A or B error.

2. For an error of any Priority identified during the Customer Care period, Sepura
shall resolve it even if that action has to continue beyond the expiry of the
Customer Care contract.
