Warranty and Product Support

Fluke Biomedical warrants this instrument against defects in materials and
workmanship for one full year from the date of original purchase. 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 does not apply if the product has been
damaged by accident or misuse or as the result of service or modification by
other than Fluke Biomedical. IN NO EVENT SHALL FLUKE BIOMEDICAL BE
LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Only serialized products and their accessory items (those products and items
bearing a distinct serial number tag) are covered under this one–year warranty.
PHYSICAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY MISUSE OR PHYSICAL ABUSE IS NOT
COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. Items such as cables and nonserialized
modules are not covered under this warranty.

Recalibration of instruments is not covered under the warranty.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state, province to province, or country to country.
This warranty is limited to repairing the instrument to Fluke Biomedical’s
specifications.

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.
