Introduction
This chapter explains how to prepare the Meter for operation by selecting the proper line
voltage, connecting an appropriate line power cord, and turning on the Meter. Also
included is information on the proper storage and cleaning of the Meter.
Unpacking and Inspecting the Meter
Every care is taken in the choice of packing material to ensure that your equipment will
reach you in perfect condition. If the equipment has been subject to excessive handling in
transit, there may be visible external damage to the shipping carton. In the event of
damage, the shipping container and cushioning material should be kept 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 both the carrier and Fluke immediately. Save the container and the packing
material in case you have to return the Meter.
