    The range of operating voltage should be between 100V~ 240V. Otherwise, the system could be damaged. Place your SA-5942 on a sturdy & level surface. Be sure to allow enough space to have easy access around the system. Avoid moving the system rapidly from a hot place to a cold one and vice versa because condensation may come from inside of the system.
