these guidelines:
 Keep the tester’s software current. The latest software is
available on the Fluke Networks website. See “Update the
Software” on page 360.
 Set the reference for the twisted pair adapters every 30 days.
See “Set the Reference” on page 70.
 Make sure you select the correct cable type for the job, and
that the NVP for the cable is correct. See Table 2 on page 72.
 Make sure you select the correct test limit for the job. See
Table 2 on page 72.
 Make sure the cords and connectors for all test equipment
and patch cords are in good condition.
 Make sure the battery is fully charged.
 Send the modules to a Fluke Networks service center every 12
months for factory calibration.
