Limited Warranty and Limitation of Liability 

Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal 
use and service. The warranty period is one year and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product 
repairs and services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or 
end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries 
or to any product which, in Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or 
damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. 

Fluke 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 does not warrant 
that software will be error free or operate without interruption. The software is neither intended nor 
warranted for use in medical or any other applications where human safety may be a concern. 

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

To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke 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 assumes no risk for damage in 
transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB 
Destination). If Fluke determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, 
alteration, accident or abnormal condition of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures 
caused by use outside the product’s specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical 
components, Fluke 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 OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 
FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES AND/OR PROFITS, 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.
