Unpacking and Inspection
Follow standard receiving practices upon receipt of the instrument. Check the shipping carton for damage. If damage is
found, stop unpacking the instrument. Notify the carrier and ask for an agent to be present while the instrument is
unpacked. There are no special unpacking instructions, but be careful not to damage the instrument when unpacking it.
Inspect the instrument for physical damage such as bent or broken parts, dents, or scratches.
Technical Support
For application support or answers to technical questions, either email
or call 1-800- 850-
4608 or 1-440-248-9300. In Europe, email

Claims
Our routine method of shipment is via common carrier, FOB origin. Upon delivery, if physical damage is found, retain all
packing materials in their original condition and contact the carrier immediately to file a claim. If the instrument is delivered
in good physical condition but does not operate within specifications, or if there are any other problems not caused by
shipping damage, please contact Fluke Biomedical or your local sales representative.
Returns and Repairs
Return Procedure
All items being returned (including all warranty-claim shipments) must be sent freight-prepaid to our factory location. When
you return an instrument to Fluke Biomedical, we recommend using United Parcel Service, Federal Express, or Air Parcel
Post. We also recommend that you insure your shipment for its actual replacement cost. Fluke Biomedical will not be
responsible for lost shipments or instruments that are received in damaged condition due to improper packaging or
handling.
Use the original carton and packaging material for shipment. If they are not available, we recommend the following guide
for repackaging:
Use a double–walled carton of sufficient strength for the weight being shipped.
Use heavy paper or cardboard to protect all instrument surfaces. Use nonabrasive material around all
projecting parts.
Use at least four inches of tightly packed, industry-approved, shock-absorbent material around the
instrument.
Returns for partial refund/credit:
Every product returned for refund/credit must be accompanied by a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number,
obtained from our Order Entry Group at 1-440-498-2560.
