AC Power Safety Warnings

The power supply is pre-set for the country/region in
which you purchased the PC. If you move to another
country/region, please make sure you check its
voltage requirements before plugging your PC into
an AC power outlet.
Install the computer near an AC outlet. The AC
power cord is your PC's main AC disconnecting
device and must be easily accessible at all times.
For your safety, the power cord provided with your
system has a grounded plug. Always use the power
cord with a properly grounded wall outlet to avoid
the risk of electrical shock.
To reduce the possibility of an electric shock from the
telephone network, plug your computer into the AC
outlet before connecting it to the telephone line.
Also, disconnect the telephone line before
unplugging your computer from the AC power
outlet.
