Setting the voltage switch
Computers purchased in Europe are configured for 220/240 VAC
operation and should be set to 230 VAC. Computers purchased in other
countries may be set to 115 VAC.

the country of purchase, you must change the voltage setting and use a
plug adaptor. The voltage switch you use to change the setting is on the
back of the computer.
Failure to set the voltage switch correctly will permanently damage the
computer’s electronics when you turn on the computer.
To change the voltage setting:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Insert the tip of a pen into one of the holes on the switch, then slide
the switch to the correct setting.
