LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is three years and 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, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke’s warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke’s option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal condition of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use outside the product’s specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

The Device manufacturer develops Device Descriptions (DD) for their products and stores them in a DD Library. The latest DD Library is installed on the Tablet. The menus, data, status, and configurations will be different based on the Device DD. When updates to the App or DD Library are available, Fluke emails a link to the email address used to register the Product. To make sure you receive the update emails, verify the email address in the App Registration submenu is correct.

Warning The Tablet and Modem are not rated for intrinsic safety and should only be connected in a safe area.
Note Connect the Modem, Device, and Loop Power Supply before you turn on the Modem to improve initial communication reliability.

1. Turn off the Tablet and the Modem.
2. Attach the clips to the wires of the Modem.
3. Connect the clips to the Device across the 4 to 20 mA connection on the Device. Although the communication signal is available anywhere along the 4 mA to 20 mA wire, it is often easiest to connect the Modem to the terminals of the Device. Figure 2 shows the System Diagram with a Fluke 754, with an internal 250 Ω resister, as the Loop Power Supply.

Figure 2. System Diagram with Fluke 754 as Loop Power Supply
If a suitable load resistance is not available, place a 250 Ω resistor in series with the Device power supply. Connect the Modem across the loop load resistor (A-B) or across the Device terminals (C-D). See Figure 3.

4. Push the power button on the side of the Tablet to turn on the Tablet.

5. Push to turn on the Modem.
   The POWER LED illuminates when the unit is on.
