A power cord with the appropriate plug configuration is supplied with each TG700. Table 2-1 gives the color-coding of the conductors in the power cord. If you require a power cord other than the one supplied, refer to Table 2-2, Power cord identification.
Switzerland 230 V Operating Voltage This TG700 operates with any line voltage from 100–240 VAC with any line frequency from 48–63 Hz. Before plugging the cord into the outlet, be sure that the line voltage is in the proper range.
Operating Temperature Operate the TG700 where the ambient air temperature is from 0_ C to +50_ C. Store the TG700 in ambient temperatures from –20_ C to +60_ C. After storage at temperatures outside the operating limits, allow the chassis to stabilize at a safe operating temperature before applying power.
CAUTION. If the fan on the rear panel stops working, disconnect the power cable from the AC power source. Internal components could be damaged. The TG700 displays the following warning message if the fan on the rear panel stop working:...
