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 three years 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.
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, 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..
