LIFETIME CUSTOMER CARE WARRANTY

NK wants you to be an NK customer for life, so we take care of you even beyond the terms of

the above warranty with our Customer Care Program. Trade-in any Kestrel Pocket Weather

Meter, no matter the age or condition, and receive a generous discount on the replacement

product (same model only). Our Customer Care Program applies only as long as we

manufacture the product, and does not cover product upgrades.

CALIBRATIONS, CERTIFICATIONS AND SERVICE

Every NK product is tested and calibrated before it leaves our factory. We guarantee that it

will perform within specifications when you receive it. Each Kestrel comes with a Certificate

of Conformity, with the stated specifications for that product on the back. If you feel an

NK product is not meeting specs when you receive it, call us and we’ll make sure you are

operating it correctly. If it still appears that it may be out of spec, return it to us within 30

days of purchase and we will test and recalibrate all values at no charge. Beyond 30 days, we

offer reasonably-priced tests, calibration services and N.I.S.T. certified calibrations as well as

Kestrel tune-ups.
All of our measurements are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology,

ensuring the highest level of accuracy. Our primary Calibration Standards are sent for

calibration in accordance with N.I.S.T. requirements and based on a regular schedule.

Only approved laboratories and N.I.S.T themselves are used for these calibration services.

Incoming and outgoing data is supplied with the certificate of calibration.
We also offer full factory service on every product we manufacture for as long as we make

the product (and as long after as component availability permits). If we can’t repair a

product, we will offer you a brand-new replacement under our Customer Care Program (even

for accidental damage and misuse).
