1.2. Misuse and other no warranty issues
Misuse is not covered by warranty. This chapter will explain what’s not covered by warranty. Phones that have been exposed to misuse will not
be covered by warranty.
This means: if it is possible to repair the phone, the customer will have to pay for the repair. SEMC will not allow any of these phones to be
claimed into WCMS. Some local perspectives may interfere with this. Please reference to local directives.
1.1.1 Action
Make a general visual inspection for misuse.
Below are some examples of what is not covered by warranty.
