 Warning 

To avoid possible fire, electric shock, personal 
injury, or damage to the smart remote: 

 

Do not open the case. No user-serviceable parts 
are inside. 

 

Replacing electrical parts yourself will void the 
smart remote's warranty and might 
compromise its safety features. 

 

Use only specified replacement parts for user-
replaceable items. 

 

Use only Fluke Networks authorized service 
centers. 

Caution 

Replacing electrical parts yourself might void 
the smart remote's calibration and compromise 
its accuracy. If the calibration is void, cable 
manufacturers might not extend their warranty 
to the cabling you install. 

Cleaning 

Clean the case with a soft cloth dampened with water or 
water and a mild soap. 

Caution 

To avoid damaging the case, do not use 
solvents or abrasive cleansers. 

Factory Calibration 

The smart remote and fiber modules require calibration 
at a service center once a year to ensure that they meet 
or exceed the published accuracy specifications. Contact 
an authorized Fluke Networks Service Center for 
information on getting your smart remote calibrated.
