Warranty and Product Support
Fluke Biomedical warrants this instrument against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of original purchase OR
two years if at the end of your first year you send the instrument to a Fluke Biomedical service center for calibration. 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.

Claims
Our routine method of shipment is via common carrier, FOB origin. Upon delivery, if physical damage is found, retain all packing materials in their original
condition and contact the carrier immediately to file a claim. If the instrument is delivered in good physical condition but does not operate within specifications, or

Returns and Repairs
Return Procedure
All items being returned (including all warranty-claim shipments) must be sent freight-prepaid to our factory location. When you return an instrument to Fluke
Biomedical, we recommend using United Parcel Service, Federal Express, or Air Parcel Post. We also recommend that you insure your shipment for its actual
replacement cost. Fluke Biomedical will not be responsible for lost shipments or instruments that are received in damaged condition due to improper packaging
or handling.
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.
