LIFETIME CUSTOMER CARE WARRANTY 

NK wants you to be an NK customer for life, so we take care of you even beyond the terms of 

the above warranty with our Customer Care Program. Trade-in any Kestrel Pocket Weather 

Meter, no matter the age or condition, and receive a generous discount on the replacement 

product (same model only). Our Customer Care Program applies only as long as we 

manufacture the product, and does not cover product upgrades.

CALIBRATIONS, CERTIFICATIONS AND SERVICE 

Every NK product is tested and calibrated before it leaves our factory. We guarantee that it 

will perform within specifications when you receive it. Each Kestrel comes with a Certificate 

of Conformity, with the stated specifications for that product on the back. If you feel an 

NK product is not meeting specs when you receive it, call us and we’ll make sure you are 

operating it correctly. If it still appears that it may be out of spec, return it to us within 30 

days of purchase and we will test and recalibrate all values at no charge. Beyond 30 days, we 

offer reasonably-priced tests, calibration services and N.I.S.T. certified calibrations as well as 

Kestrel tune-ups. 
All of our measurements are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, 

ensuring the highest level of accuracy. Our primary Calibration Standards are sent for 

calibration in accordance with N.I.S.T. requirements and based on a regular schedule. 

Only approved laboratories and N.I.S.T themselves are used for these calibration services. 

Incoming and outgoing data is supplied with the certificate of calibration. 
We also offer full factory service on every product we manufacture for as long as we make 

the product (and as long after as component availability permits). If we can’t repair a 

product, we will offer you a brand-new replacement under our Customer Care Program (even 

for accidental damage and misuse).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

What is a “Kestrel”? The American Kestrel is the smallest North American falcon. 

Beautiful and highly adaptable, it can be found virtually everywhere in North 

America. It is unique among falcons for its ability to both hover at very low speeds 

and dive at very high speeds.

Assembled in the USA. The Kestrel 3500 is protected by US Patent 5,783,753,  5,939,645  and 

6,257,079. Nielsen-Kellerman reserves the right to change product specifications. ©2010.
