Most of the time any SPORTident control repairs require nothing more than replacing the battery.
I strongly urge you not to try it yourself: the batteries need to be the exact type, and we insure that the units are properly waterproofed with new o-ring seals after soldering the replacement battery in place.
By the way, the battery in a BSF7 or BSF8 should last 3 – 5 years depending on usage.
To get a unit repaired, ship via postal service to us at:
SPORTident
1 Revol Road
Ottawa ON K2G 0B8
Canada
and please clearly mark on the box: To be returned after repairs.
Please be advised that all delivery charges including brokerage fees for packages sent to SPORTident in Canada will be your responsibility. Courier companies (e.g. FedEx, UPS, etc) charge brokerage fees based on the stated value of the package, while the postal service only charges if items are imported. To save you money, please do not use a courier service. Contact me at erict@sportident.ca if you have any further questions.
Controls have a 2 year warranty; SI cards (finger sticks) a 5 year warranty.
Out-of-warranty Repair fees:
| Type of Repair | Fee |
