| FLUKE 107 - absolute garbage lasted 2 years |

I believe there is cal button in the battery compartment. But if its 30% off you probably have some hardware failure. Also, calibration mode is for service centers, calibration labs, etc. Not for regular owners.. That applies for any brand of test equipment |

As others have hinted, carefully inspect the interior of your meter for any faults. My experience with its sibling Fluke 101 was very disappointing and hinted to a lower degree of quality control. If the 107 is similar, I wouldn't be surprised that yours could have been a victim of the same reason. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-1574-is-the-$42-fluke-101-multimeter-any-good/msg5152701/#msg5152701 Good luck in your repair! |

Don't confuse sending something for calibration with having it adjusted. Sending something for calibration generally means that it will be tested and you get a pass fail with a detailed report. They will not adjust it for you. As others have said if it is 30% then something in badly wrong. If it were out by twice as much as it is supposed to be then yea maybe it needs a nudge, but 30% is faulty. |

even from the factory its super suspicious if its 30% error. They will have 1% resistors in there or better and a reference that is pretty accurate. I don't think it can even be lost cal data for 30%, it must be faulty cal data (bad chip giving bizzaro numbers), and I am surprised the program does not say "this is outside the bounds of adjustment for the chip". I think it must be a analog problem. The cal just brings the cheapish analog circuit from say 5% intrinsic accuracy to 0.1% accuracy. 30% is extreme the cal is a virtual version of the litle adjustment screw you have in your dial gauge. In this case the dial gauge is bent IMO |

But hold on, just 2 years? Should it not be still covered by warranty? |
