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,

operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products
