Although TDS builds the Recon to rugged military specifications, as with any electronic product there may be occasions when it requires repair. TDS offers two types of warranties, original and extended, to protect your investment.

The original warranty covers your TDS Recon for a period of twelve (12) months from original date of purchase. There is no charge for this warranty. See the complete text of the Standard Warranty & Limitations below.

An extended warranty may be purchased, providing up to two additional years of coverage after the original warranty expires. The cost of extending the warranty for the TDS Recon is only $169.95 per year.

If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase extended warranty coverage, you must do so while the unit is still under its original warranty. You will need to provide an invoice showing your original purchase date. Extended warranty coverage mirrors the original warranty on the TDS Recon, and is available only in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. See the Extended Warranty page at right for more details.


This product is limited warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for twelve (12) months from the original date of purchase. Recon accessories and peripherals are limited warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for ninety (90) days from the original date of purchase. If notice is received of such defects during the limited warranty period, the proven defective product(s) will either be repaired or replaced, at the manufacturer's option. Replacement products may be either new or like new.

The manufacturer does not warrant that the operation of the products will be uninterrupted or error free. If the product is not, within a reasonable time, repaired or replaced to a condition as limited warranted, the customer will be entitled to a refund of the purchase price upon prompt return of the product.

Limited warranty does not apply to defects resulting from (a) improper or inadequate maintenance or calibration, (b) software, interfacing, parts, or supplies not supplied by manufacturer, (c) unauthorized modification, or misuse, (d) operation outside of the published environmental specifications for the product, or (e) physical damage due to external causes, including accident, abuse, misuse or problems with electrical power. Water damage caused by improper installation of the CF-cap is not covered by warranty. Removal of the backcase voids the limited warranty. There are important seals that will break and the Recon will no longer be waterproof.

To the extent allowed by local law, the above limited warranties are exclusive and no other warranty or condition, whether written or oral, is expressed or implied, specifically disclaiming any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, satisfactory quality, and fitness for a particular purpose.

To the extent allowed by local law, the remedies in this limited warranty statement are the customer's sole and exclusive remedies. Except as indicated above, in no event will the manufacturer or its suppliers be liable for loss of data or for direct, special, incidental, consequential (including lost profit or data), or other damage, whether based in contract, tort, or otherwise.
