Warning

To avoid electrical shock or fire:

•Use only the Fluke power supply, Model BC190 (Battery Charger / Power Adapter).

•Before use check that the selected/indicated range on the BC190 matches the local line power voltage and frequency.

•For the BC190/808 universal Battery Charger / Power Adapter) only use line cords that comply with the local safety regulations.

Note:

To accomodate connection to various line power sockets, the BC190/808 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.
