  3. If in the case that SUPPORTECH-USA.COM’s engineering support team is not able to detect the problem, SUPPORTECH-USA.COM will provide an RMA number so that you can return the equipment for repair.The support engineer should provide you with the following: RMA number, address where to ship the damaged goods to. Please make sure you only send the parts the support engineer asks for. Do not send power cords or other accessories unless the support engineer asks you to. Please try to place the item in the original boxes. Do not make notes or place stickers. All we need is the RMA number on a separate sheet of paper included with the merchandise. If you are returning dome cameras, please take the proper precautions to protect the glass from scratches using cardboard and shipping each dome individually in a single box. Be very careful when shipping batteries. These need to be shipped without charge and with the electric terminals well protected with tape or cardboard to avoid friction while in transit. If the battery contains acid, please remove it before shipping. Always avoid shipping batteries with acid. They are very dangerous and transportation companies can refuse to ship them. Please add a written report on the inside of the package using your words to best describe the problem and include the RMA number given to you by the support engineer. Include all items in an additional protective box, label “FRAGILE,” and ship to your closest SUPPORTECH-USA.COM repair center:
