Unpacking and Inspecting the Meter

Every care is taken in the choice of packing material to ensure that your Meter will reach
you in perfect condition. If the Meter has been subject to excessive handling in transit,
there may be visible external damage to the shipping carton. In the event of damage, keep
the shipping container and packing material for the carrier's inspection.
Carefully unpack the Meter from its shipping container and inspect the contents for
damaged or missing items. If the Meter appears damaged or something is missing,
contact the carrier and Fluke immediately. Save the container and packing material in
case you have to return the Meter.

Storing and Shipping the Meter

To prepare the Meter for storage or shipping, use the original shipping container if
possible, as it provides shock isolation for normal handling operations. If the original
shipping container is not available, use a box that is 17.5 x 15.5 x 8.0 inches, with
cushioning material that fills the space between the Meter and the sides of the box.
