Important Safety Information

Use the DVL-500 only as specified in these operating instructions or the protection provided by the unit
may be impaired.

The battery charger/AC adapter must only be connected to a power outlet which provides a protective
earth (ground).

Connect the AC power cord only to designated power sources as marked on the battery charger/AC
adapter.

The battery charger/AC adapter is rated for indoors use only.

Do not replace detachable MAINS supply cords for the battery charger/AC adapter by inadequately
RATED cords.

Use only Sensors & Software Inc. battery charger/AC adapter - part number 100-55-0024, TDK-Lambda
DT80PW180C.

Use only Sensors & Software Inc. battery - part number 100-55-0025, RRC Power Solutions Inc.
RRC2020.

Do not position the DVL-500 so that it is difficult to disconnect the battery charger/AC adapter.

The exterior of this product should be cleaned using a damp cloth.
