Guardian Product Return
Guardian products have been quality tested and are in full working order when
shipped from the factory, given the rugged nature of these products shipping is not
expected to damage a unit. In the unlikely event of a malfunction Guardian follows the
three step procedure below.
Step I - On-Site Correction
•The most common source of difficulties with a new product is improper installation
in one of two ways: incorrect wiring connections or connection to an incorrect
power source.
•Product wiring needs to be properly connected to the on-site wiring. Correct wiring
instructions are shown in the user manuals included with the product.
•VoIP-H telephones must receive power either from the Ethernet (POE) or from an
external source. If a VoIP-H telephone fails to function refer to the Question &
Answer section in the Setup and Configuration manual P007402. If the solution is
not found in the Q & A section contact Guardian Tech Support online under
Products\VoIP Technical Support at www.guardiantelecom.com or at 1-800-363
8010.
Step II - Return Materials Authorization (RMA)
•When a product has been installed following user manual instructions, and the unit
fails to operate, the user must contact Guardian Telecom to obtain authorization to
return the product. This can be done by completing an RMA form online at
https://www.guardiantelecom.com/support/rma/, or by calling the service telephone
number given in this manual.
•After providing information on the product, the owner and the nature of the
problem, Guardian will issue a RMA number, to be shown on documentation
returned with the product.
•In addition to the RMA number, shipping documents should include name, address
and telephone number of the owner along with contact information for the person
responsible for the repair and/or the user who identified the malfunction.
•(Where a product is being returned for repair from outside of Canada, customs
documentation must show the product’s serial number, date of export [date of
purchase], and a notation that the equipment is: “Canadian goods returning.”)
Step III - Factory Authorized Service
•Once received, each product is carefully inspected and tested. If the product is
under warranty, repairs are completed and the product returned to the owner,
generally within five working days of receipt by the factory.
•A product that has been subjected to misuse, neglect or accident or is beyond the
warranty period will be evaluated. The service department will provide the owner’s
representative with a repair cost estimate. Once approved, repairs are completed
and the product returned, generally within five working days.

Cleaning Tips for Guardian Telephones
Guardian Telephones may occasionally need to be cleaned to maintain appearance. Generally,
wiping the surface with a clean, water dampened cloth will remove most films or residues. If the
soiling is too stubborn for plain water, a mild detergent solution may be used. Be sure to wipe
away any detergent residue with a plain water dampened cloth. The Telephone may be cleaned
with any general-purpose household glass and surface type cleaner. Do not spray the telephone
directly! Spray the cleaner on a soft cloth then wipe the surface. Pre-treated cloths, like those
used for eyeglasses or cameras, may be used to clean the Telephone. Premoistened towelettes
may also be used, however, avoid those containing lanolin or aloe as they will leave a slippery
residue. The handset and surface of the telephone may be cleaned with disinfectants used for
general cleaning in a medical environment. Isopropyl alcohol may be used applied with a cloth.
Avoid using alcohol on silicon based keypads, since doing so may significantly degrade
legibility.
•Do not use furniture polishes, waxes or plasticizer-based cleaner (Armor All etc.)
•Do not use lanolin, aloe, glycerin or other skin care type products.
•Do not apply any solvent such as acetone, mineral spirits etc.
•Do not directly spray or immerse the handset.
Storage
General Storage (All situations):
•Note any stacking limits or warnings on packaging (if any).
•Do not store in temperatures over +80C.
•Store in original packaging if possible until needed.
Long Term Storage (> 6 Months):
•If area is air conditioned and not subject to high changes in humidity, continue to store in
original packaging.
•If wide humidity shifts are expected, then use these steps:
oRemove product from packaging (including plastic bags) and store on shelf in open air.
oIf area is subject to a high degree of dust, to help maintain cosmetic appearance you can
cover with cloth (Do not cover with plastic or materials that will trap moisture) or clean
periodically.
oDo not store out of packaging long term where they are exposed to sunlight. Long term
exposure to UV may cause fading on plastic parts.
