WARNING

Shock Hazard Potential

WARNING

Shock Hazard Potential

Severe injury or death from electrical shock can occur when damp electrical plugs are connected to the 

unit.  Before making any connections, turn off unit.  Failure to use proper grounding can cause potential 

shock hazard! In different countries, the power cord may require the use of a plug adapter to achieve plug 

style compatibility for operation.  Use only adapters with proper grounding mechanism.

CAUTION

Unit Damage Potential

Severe injury  or death from  electrical shock may  occur,  if  either user 

or the unit is wet, while the unit is connected to a power source.  If the 

unit has come into contact with water, discon nect ac power from the ac 

source.  If AC Input Circuit Breaker has tripped due to water infi ltration, 

DO NOT try to reset it with the ac line voltage attached.

The use of unapproved ac power will damage the unit.  Check the 

Input Voltage Selector Switch window 

(outlined in blue) 

to ensure 

the  switch  setting  (115V  or  230V)  matches  the  ac  power  source 

(hangar wall, fl ight line ac power) prior to connecting the unit for 

recharging.

Severe injury or death from electrical shock can occur when damp electrical plugs are connected to the 

TI3100A DVAM.  Make sure the electrical outlet is switched off before making any connections.  Failure 

to use proper grounding can cause potential shock hazard!  Use only adapters with proper grounding 

mechanism.
