content: Of new Fluke equipment from authorized dealers?I know a written manual is no longer included with the their products, but that's not a big deal if they provide written copies to buyers who request them. Fluke does this, right?

content: I don't think so. We buy a lot of DMM from Fluke if they do I would have to ask for some but I do not think so.

content: I guess it depends on the product. I bought a Fluke IR thermometer last year and it came with a printed manual in the evil vacuum moulded PET overwrap it came in.

Perhaps they are shy, or perhaps they waited until they have something relevant to say or ask, rather than merely shitposting to criticise someone for posting whatyouthink is a trivial question.Others are happy to talk about their question and contribute to it, if you think it's trivial and don't want to talk it about you could just do that, not talk about it. If you haven't anything useful to add to the conversation just STFU rather than indulge in low grade bullying.

content: If the OP didn't buy the meter yet he would have problem email and ask because they want serial number when you contact them.

content: Most of my Fluke handheld DMMs came with a printed quick-reference card that fits well into the carrying case.I don't think authorized dealer vs. any other seller would matter, if it's a new unit it should be in a retail box with all the same items included.

content: Not sure they actually do provide printed manuals free of charge (if that’s what you are asking). The last two Fluke meters we bought (manufactured in 2020) came with a card mentioning that manuals and software can be downloaded or *ordered* atwww.fluke.com/productinfo. I could not find any “order manual” link there, so I assume you’d have to contact them directly, as suggested by others. I don’t plan to request any printed manual, I’m fine with the PDFs (and no real man actually reads the user manual anyways). Kidding, of course.
