LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each Fluke Networks product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use
and service. The warranty period for the mainframe is one year and begins on the date of purchase. Parts,
accessories, product repairs and services are warranted for 90 days, unless otherwise stated. Ni-Cad, Ni-MH and
Li-Ion batteries, cables or other peripherals are all considered parts or accessories. The warranty extends only to
the original buyer or end user customer of a Fluke Networks authorized reseller, and does not apply to any product
which, in Fluke Networks' opinion, has been misused, abused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by
accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke Networks 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 Networks does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without
interruption.

Fluke Networks 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 Networks. Warranty support
is available only if product is purchased through a Fluke Networks authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the
applicable international price. Fluke Networks 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 Networks warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke Networks option, to refund of the purchase price, free of
charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke Networks authorized service
center within the warranty period.

To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke Networks authorized service center to obtain return
authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty, postage
and insurance prepaid (FOB destination). Fluke Networks assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following
warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB destination). If Fluke Networks
determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident or abnormal condition of
operation or handling, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke Networks 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 EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE NETWORKS SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,
INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR 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 or other decision-maker of competent
jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Powering On

1. Connect the AC adapter to a power source and to the OptiView XG Network Analysis Tablet.

See Figure 8, “Powering On” for the location of the power connector and power button.The
batteries are not fully charged before shipment due to transportation regulations.

2. Charge the batteries to full capacity before disconnecting the AC adapter. Charge time is

approximately 3 hours. Run time is approximately 2 hours with fully charged batteries.

• If the OptiView XG is powered-on, see the Battery Status Window (see page 28) to verify

that batteries are fully charged.

• If the OptiView XG is powered-off use the Battery Charge Status LED (see page 27) or the

Battery Charge Indicators on the batteries (see page 28) to verify that batteries are fully

charged.

3. Press the green On/Off button to power-on the OptiView XG.

Sleep Mode

In the factory-default configuration, when you press the OptiView’s power button the Windows
Sleep sequence is activated and the unit goes into a low power state. The Power/Charge LED
indicator behavior is described on

Settings that you configure in the OptiView Settings screens are retained through Sleep and
Shutdown cycles. Discovery and Traffic Analysis data are not retained.

To resume from Sleep mode, press the power button.

Two fully-charged batteries will last approximately 36 hours when the OptiView XG is in Sleep
mode.

Powering-Off

Powering-Off

If you plan to leave the OptiView XG in Sleep mode while unplugged from the AC adapter for an
extended period, power-off the OptiView XG to avoid fully discharging the batteries.

When the OptiView XG has been powered-off (using Windows Shut down), battery life is
determined by the internal discharge rate of the lithium-ion batteries, which is approximately 5­10% per month.

To power-off the OptiView XG:

1. Select the Windows 7 button.

2. Select the Shutdown button.

The Windows 7 Shutdown sequence will be activated, and the OptiView XG will power-off.

Settings that you configure in the OptiView Settings screens are retained through Sleep and
Shutdown cycles. Discovery and Traffic Analysis data are not retained.
