Factory Calibration

The tester requires calibration at a service center once a
year to ensure that it meets or exceeds the published
accuracy specifications. Contact an authorized Fluke
Networks Service Center for information on getting your
tester calibrated.
To see when the tester last received a service calibration,
turn the rotary switch to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS; then select
Version Information. The tester's calibration date is also
shown on reports uploaded to a PC.

Updating the Tester's Software

Keeping your tester's software current gives you access to
new features and the latest test limits.
To get a software update, download the update from the
Fluke Networks website or contact Fluke Networks to get
the update by other means.
To see the software version installed in your main and
remote testers, turn the rotary switch to SPECIAL
FUNCTIONS; then select Version Information.
You can update your tester with a PC or with another tester
that is already updated, as described in the following
