 Warranty and Product Support
Fluke Biomedical warrants this instrument against defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of
original purchase. You will be charged our customary fee for such calibration. During the warranty period, we will repair or at
our option replace, at no charge, a product that proves to be defective, provided you return the product, shipping prepaid, to
Fluke Biomedical. This warranty covers the original purchaser only and is not transferable. The warranty does not apply if
the product has been damaged by accident or misuse or has been serviced or modified by anyone other than an authorized
Fluke Biomedical service facility. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, SUCH AS FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
This warranty covers only serialized products and their accessory items that bear a distinct serial number tag. Recalibration
of instruments is not covered under the warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary in different jurisdictions. Since
some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of an implied warranty or of incidental or consequential damages,
this limitation of liability may not apply to you. If any provision of this warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or
other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Use the original carton and packaging material for shipment. If they are not available, we recommend the following guide for repackaging:
 Use a double–walled carton of sufficient strength for the weight being shipped.
 Use heavy paper or cardboard to protect all instrument surfaces. Use nonabrasive material around all projecting parts.
 Use at least four inches of tightly packed, industry-approved, shock-absorbent material around the instrument.
Returns for partial refund/credit:
Every product returned for refund/credit must be accompanied by a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number, obtained from our Order
Entry Group at 1-440-498-2560.
