Warranty and Product Support
Fluke Biomedical warrants this instrument against defects in materials and workmanship for one full year from the date of original purchase.
During the warranty period, we will repair or, at our option, replace at no charge a product that proves to be defective, provided you return
the product, shipping prepaid, to Fluke Biomedical. This warranty does not apply if the product has been damaged by accident or misuse or
as the result of service or modification by other than Fluke Biomedical. IN NO EVENT SHALL FLUKE BIOMEDICAL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
Only serialized products and their accessory items (those products and items bearing a distinct serial number tag) are covered under this oneyear
warranty. PHYSICAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY MISUSE OR PHYSICAL ABUSE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. Items such as cables
and nonserialized modules are not covered under this warranty
Recalibration of instruments is not covered under the warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which vary from state to state, province to province, or country
to country. This warranty is limited to repairing the instrument to Fluke Biomedicals specifications.
Warranty Disclaimer
Should you elect to have your instrument serviced and/or calibrated by someone other than Fluke Biomedical, please be advised that the original warranty covering your product becomes void when the tamper-resistant Quality Seal is removed or broken without proper factory authorization. We
strongly recommend, therefore, that you send your instrument to Fluke Biomedical for factory service and calibration, especially during the original
warranty period. (When returning the product for any reason, be sure to follow the Return Procedure in Standard Terms and Conditions in the section in the Operators Manual called Notices.)
In all cases, breaking the tamper-resistant Quality Seal should be avoided at all cost, as this seal is the key to your original instrument warranty. In the
event that the seal must be broken to gain internal access to the instrument, you must first contact Fluke Biomedicals Technical Assistance Department at 775-883-3400. You will be required to provide the serial number for your instrument as well as a valid reason for breaking the Quality Seal. You
should break this seal only after you have received factory authorization. Do not break the Quality Seal before you have contacted us. Following these
steps will help ensure that you will retain the original warranty on your instrument without interruption.
Manufacturing Location
The VT MOBILE is manufactured in Everett, WA, USA.

VT MOBILE
Getting Started Manual
vi
Do not use the VT MOBILE in any manner not specified in the Operators Manual. Otherwise,
the protection provided by this product may be impaired.
When measuring oxygen, always keep all components of test setup well away from open
flame or other combustion-starting devices.
Use in well-ventilated space. Be aware that a gas defined with VT for Windows software as
User may be unknown while using the VT MOBILE.
For high pressure measurements, always turn off gas source before connection or disconnection of VT MOBILE. Be aware that there is no pressure indication on the VT MOBILE
screen when VT for Windows software is in control.
Always press power off on the VT MOBILE and unplug the battery eliminator before cleaning
the outer surface.
Inspect the product, if the instrument appears damaged or appears to operate in a manner
not specified in the manual, DO NOT CONTINUE USE. Return the product for service.
Avoid spilling liquids on the analyzer; fluid seepage into internal components creates corrosion and a potential shock hazard. Do not operate the instrument if internal components are
exposed to fluid.
vii
WCaution
The VT MOBILE should be calibrated annually. Only qualified technical personnel should perform troubleshooting and service procedures on the VT MOBILE.
Do not expose the system to temperature extremes. Ambient operating temperatures should remain between 10 and 40 C. System performance may be adversely affected if temperatures fluctuate above or below this range.
Clean only with a damp, lint-free cloth, using a mild detergent, and wipe down gently.

Service
Have a qualified technician calibrate the Analyzer once a
year. We recommend that you send the Analyzer to a
Fluke service center for calibration or service.
Battery
The Analyzer uses a 9-volt, non-rechargeable alkaline
battery. Refer to Figure 13 for battery replacement
instructions.
If battery voltage drops too low, the message Warning
Your Battery Is Low appears on the screen. Press G
(Ok) to resume viewing the previous display. The
Analyzer will now occasionally beep and eventually
display the warning screen again, allowing you to repeat
the process. However, to maintain accurate
measurements, replace the battery as soon as possible
after the first warning you notice.
Press S C E to check the battery level.
