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.

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 nona-

brasive 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 1-800­648-7952 or 1-425-446-6945.
