Warranty Disclaimer
Should you elect to have your instrument serviced and/or calibrated by someone other than Fluke
Biomedical, please be advised that the original warranty covering your product becomes void when the
tamper-resistant Quality Seal is removed or broken without proper factory authorization. We strongly
recommend, therefore, that you send your instrument to Fluke Biomedical for factory service and calibration,
especially during the original warranty period.
In all cases, breaking the tamper-resistant Quality Seal should be avoided at all cost, as this seal is the key
to your original instrument warranty. In the event that the seal must be broken to gain internal access to the
instrument (e.g., in the case of a customer-installed firmware upgrade), you must first contact Fluke
Biomedical’s technical support department at 702-883-3400. You will be required to provide us with the
serial number for your instrument as well as a valid reason for breaking the Quality Seal. You should break
this seal only after you have received factory authorization. Do not break the Quality Seal before you have
contacted us! Following these steps will help ensure that you will retain the original warranty on your
instrument without interruption.

Defibrillator Section
The simulator has three training scenarios each with a preprogrammed series of ECG
waveforms that require clinical intervention with a cardiac defibrillator. The operator
interacts with these scenarios by either manually selecting functions on the simulator
keyboard, or inputting an attenuated defibrillator discharge signal through the "SYNC"
input. This stimulus can be generated by discharging a defibrillator into a Fluke
Biomedical defibrillator analyzer. Just connect the analyzer's 1000:1 oscilloscope output
to the simulator's "SYNC" input to automatically sequence the ECG waveforms.
