To ensure that the meter is used safely, follow these instructions:
• Do not use the meter if the meter or test leads appear damaged, or if
you suspect that the meter is not operating properly.
• Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test
lead.
• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on
the probes.
• Do not use the V•Check
could be damaged by this mode’s low input impedance
(≅2 kΩ).
• Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, desolderi ng, or
breaking the circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous.
• Do not apply more than 600V rms between a meter terminal and earth
ground.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 60V dc or 30V ac rms.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

V•Check
If a dc or ac voltage greater than about 4.5V is present across the inputs
when the meter is set to
R, G, or e, the meter switches automatically
to dc or ac voltage mode (V•Check mode).
W Warning
Repetitive transients on a dc bus will cause V•Check to
select ac volts, even though a hazardous dc voltage may
be present. To avoid a misleading display and possible
electric shock, manually select the proper volts function
for measurements on these circuits.
When V•Check is activated, the meter has low input impedance (LoZ)
≅2 kΩ. This load can alter the voltages in electronic control circuits. Do
not use V•Check to measure voltage in circuits that could be damaged by
a 2 kΩ load.
Hint: V•Check can be effectively used to eliminate “ghost” voltages.

Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under
normal use and service. The warranty period is three years and begins on the date of shipment.
Parts, product repairs and services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the
original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses,
disposable batteries or to any product which, in Fluke’s opinion, has been misused, altered,
neglected or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke
warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for
90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant
that software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user
customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke.
Warranty support is available if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or
Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for
importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted
for repair in another country.
Fluke’s warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke’s option, to refund of the purchase price, free of
charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized
service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center or send the
product, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination), to
the nearest Fluke authorized service center. Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit.
Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB
Destination). If Fluke determines that the failure was caused by misuse, alteration, accident or
abnormal condition of operation or handling, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and
obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to
the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return
transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSI VE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PU RPOSE.
FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER
ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, RELIANCE OR
ANY OTHER THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of
this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision.
