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.

Note
To get the specified performance, use the
specified battery charger that comes with this
Product.
When the battery gets low a low battery message shows
in the display.
When the battery discharges to a low level threshold, a
warning shows in the display to indicate the NIBP function
is disabled.
How to Charge the Battery

corner of the display.
Shows when the ac/dc power
supply is connected
Shows the battery level when the
Product operates on the battery
The battery can be charged while it is in or out of the
Product. The charge rate is slower when the Product is
energized and the battery charger is on. To charge the
battery:
1. As shown in Figure 4, connect the ac/dc power
supply to the power connector on the battery pack.
2. Connect the ac/dc power supply to a power source.
The battery charge LED on the battery pack shows red or
green when the ac/dc power supply is connected to the
battery pack. When the LED is green, the battery is
charged.
When you have two or more battery packs, you can
charge one battery externally while you use the other to
energize the Product.
