Do I Need To Register My Element TV?

When you get a new TV, like an Element, one of the first recommendations that manufacturers usually make is registering the TV with the company. This is a relatively easy process, but what are the advantages for the consumer when it comes to registering their Element TV? 

Registering an Element TV is a necessary part of setting the TV up if it needs warranty repair or replacement. Registering an Element TV can also give the TV owner easy access to technical support and any potential product recalls or safety notices. 

Registering an Element TV only takes a few minutes, but it can save you hours of hassle down the line if you end up having technical difficulties with your set. Read on to learn more about registering your Element TV and how to do it. 

Reasons to Register an Element TV

Not everybody goes through the effort to register their Element TV after buying it. However, this is generally a mistake if you’re looking to get the most out of your TV set. 

Some reasons why you should register your Element TV as soon as you purchase it and set it up are warranty activation, access to technical support, and notifications for product recalls and safety notices. 

• Warranty activation: To set up a warranty for your TV in case of manufacturer’s defects, you’ll need to register the TV with Element. This gives you a warranty plan if you run into problems with your set. Registering the TV within ninety days of purchase also provides owners with an extended warranty plan.
  

• Technical support: Along with activating your warranty, registering your Element TV gives you technical support through the manufacturer’s website. Customer service representatives can help talk you through any issues you may have with setting up your device.
  
• Product recalls and safety notices: If Element decides to recall one of their TV models or release a safety notice about its operation, registering the product allows the company to contact you as soon as there are any issues.

Registering your Element TV is a good idea for the reasons above, but it’s also just a smart practice to take note of your TV’s serial number and model number. This can be useful information to have in case of a fire or robbery. You’ll also need this information if you need to replace your remote.

How Long Is an Element TV’s Warranty?

Once you’ve registered your Element TV, you have access to a 12-month warranty through the manufacturer. This warranty allows the TV to be replaced, repaired, or refunded if it’s found to be defective within the first year of service. 

Every Element TV comes with a 12-month warranty no matter when the product is registered. If an Element TV is registered within the first ninety days after purchase, this 12-month warranty is extended to a 24-month warranty instead. 

This extended warranty isn’t just a useful advantage; it’s necessary. Since Element TVs are an economy product that may not last as long as other, more expensive smart TV brands, having an extended warranty can help protect you from any early breakdowns in your set. 

You should go through the warranty in detail because some TVs won’t be covered in situations, such as if the TV gets too cold.

How to Register an Element TV

The process of registering an Element TV doesn’t take long and is easy to do as long as you have a personal computer or smart device. Here are the steps you should take to register your Element TV within the first ninety days after buying it: 

• Visit the Element Electronics website. Navigating to the website can be done on either a computer or a smart device such as a smartphone or tablet.
  
• Begin the registration process. To register your Element TV, select Register a Product on the website’s main menu.
  
• Enter contact information. To register the TV, you’ll need your contact information such as full name, email address, phone number, and home address.
  
• Enter owner registration data. Registration also requires basic information about the owner, such as the birth date and gender.
  
• Enter TV purchase data. The company needs the TV’s purchase history. This includes information such as the retailer’s name where you purchased the TV, the TV’s serial number, and a digital photograph of the purchase receipt as proof of purchase.
  

After the Element TV is registered, you should receive a confirmation email from customer support verifying that the registration is finalized. 

What Happens if an Element TV Isn’t Registered?

If you don’t register your Element TV, this can void your warranty. As long as you register the TV before filing a claim, you’ll be covered under at least a 12-month warranty. But without this registration, you won’t be able to file a warranty claim if your Element TV breaks down in the first year. 

It’s best to register a TV as soon as you buy it for the sole reason that you’re more likely to lose your purchase receipt as time goes on. Without the purchase receipt, you can’t complete your registration, and you’ll end up having to pay full price to replace the set. 

Registering an Element TV is Practical 

Since it takes less than five minutes to register your Element TV as long as you have a smartphone or computer, it’s well worth the trouble to file the paperwork as soon as you set the TV up. Not only does this double the length of your manufacturer’s warranty, but it also gives you access to product information you wouldn’t have otherwise.
