Responsible manufacturers indicate the date of issue in the accompanying documents for the device, as a rule, a factory typesetting stamp is affixed in the format YY. MM. DD, rarely the date is written by hand.

In this case, study the warranty card; in a properly executed document, the date of issue is necessarily put on the front side of the coupon.
