Return Policy
Due to the nature of electronics, every item that leaves our warehouse is bench tested to ensure it's in full working order before it reaches you. If you're experiencing issues with your new Polaris product, we're here to help.
Most issues can be resolved quickly by getting in touch with us directly. To help us assist you as efficiently as possible, please do the following before reaching out:
Check for software updates. If your product supports over-the-air updates, please ensure it's running the latest firmware or software version, as this can resolve many common issues.
Record a video of the issue. Send this to us via Facebook, Instagram DM, or email. Seeing the problem first-hand allows us to diagnose it faster and escalate to the manufacturer if needed.
Check your connections and wiring. Ensure all cables, connectors, and mounting points are secure and correctly installed, as loose connections are a common cause of electronic issues.
Note when the issue occurs. Does it happen at startup, after a period of use, or under specific conditions? This information helps us identify the cause much faster.
If any of our suggestions resolve your issue, please let us know as we love to hear it! When we don't hear back from a customer, we assume everything is back in working order. Your feedback also helps us better assist future customers experiencing similar problems.
If we cannot troubleshoot and solve your issue remotely through our support channels, you will need to send the item back to us for assessment. Return shipping costs are at the customer's expense.
