General Power Safety

Observe the following guidelines when

connecting your equipment to a power source:

• Check the voltage rating before you connect

the equipment to an electrical outlet to

ensure that the required voltage and

frequency match the available power source.

• Your device is equipped with either an

internal power source or an external adapter.

For internal power sources, your device is

equipped with one of the following:

– An auto-sensing voltage circuit - Devices

with an auto-sensing voltage circuit do

not have a voltage selection switch on the

back panel and automatically detect the

correct operating voltage.

– A manual voltage selection switch -

Devices with a voltage selection switch

on the back panel must be manually set to

operate at the correct operating voltage.

Set the switch to the position that most

closely matches the voltage used in your

location.

NOTE: The switch on your system may be

different than the one pictured.

CAUTION: To help avoid damaging a
computer with a manual voltage selection
switch, set the switch for the voltage
that most closely matches the AC power
available in your location.

• To prevent electric shock, plug the equipment

power cables into properly grounded

electrical outlets. If the equipment is

provided with a 3-prong power cable, do not

use adapter plugs that bypass the grounding

feature, or remove the grounding feature

from the plug or adapter.
