LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke Networks product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty
period is one year and begins on the date of purchase. Parts, accessories, product repairs and services are warranted for 90 days. This war-
ranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke Networks authorized reseller, and does not apply to disposable
batteries, cable connector tabs, cable insulation-displacement connectors, or to any product which, in Fluke Networks’ opinion, has been
misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke Networks war-
rants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly re-
corded on non-defective media. Fluke Networks does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke Networks 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 Networks. Warranty support is available only if product is purchased
through a Fluke Networks authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke Networks 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 Networks’ warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke Networks’ option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replace-
ment of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke Networks authorized service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke Networks 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 Net-
works assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB
Destination). If Fluke Networks determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident or abnormal
condition of operation or handling, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke Networks 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 NETWORKS 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 conse-
quential 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 enforce-
ability of any other provision.

MICROSCANNER PRO requires a 9 Volt Alkaline battery.
The Battery icon is displayed on the screen when
MICROSCANNER PRO detects a low battery condition.
Using MICROSCANNER PRO with a low battery may effect
the test accuracy.
If MICROSCANNER PRO is stored for more than one month,
the battery should be removed.
Note
MICROSCANNER PRO will not function properly
with a 9 Volt Carbon Battery.
The Keypad

OFF
When turned on, MICROSCANNER PRO flashes the LCD
power-up test then resumes the test mode that was
last executed. MICROSCANNER PRO turns off automatically
when no cable is detected or when no key has been
pressed for 10 minutes.

ON
OFF
Turn the MICROSCANNER PRO OFF, then hold the MODE
key down while pressing the ON key to start Calibrate
mode.
Use MICROSCANNER PRO to calibrate cable lengths of
more than 50 feet (15 meters) and up to 1500 feet (457
meters).
Setting the NVP percentage
Once in Calibrate Mode, the default NVP (Nominal
Velocity of Propagation) will be displayed followed by
the overall cable length. The cable length is measured
with the currently stored NVP.
NVP is the measure of how fast a signal travels down a
cable compared to the speed of light. The result will be
represented as a percentage of the speed of light. For
an accurate length test, the NVP must be set correctly.
