Warning
To avoid electrical shock or fire:
• Use only the power supply, Model PM8907
(Battery Charger / Power Adapter).
• Before use check that the selected/indicated
voltage range on the PM8907 matches the
local line power voltage and frequency.
local line power voltage and frequency.
• For the PM8907/808 universal Battery
Charger/Power Adapter use only line cords
that comply with the local safety regulations.
that comply with the local safety regulations.
Note
To accommodate connection to various line
power sockets, the PM8907/808 universal
Battery Charger / Power Adapter is equipped
with a male plug that must be connected to a line
cord appropriate for local use. Since the adapter
is isolated, the line cord does not need to be
equipped with a terminal for connection to
protective ground. Since line cords with a
protective grounding terminal are more
commonly available you might consider using
these anyhow.

• Do not apply input voltages above the rating
of the instrument. Use caution when using
1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage
will be directly transmitted to the Test Tool.
