Setting the voltage switch
Computers purchased in Europe are configured for 230 VAC operation. Computers purchased in
the United States or other countries may be set to 110/120 VAC. To operate the computer in
a country that uses a different voltage than the country of purchase, you must change the voltage
selection and use a plug adapter. The voltage selection switch is on the back panel.
To change the voltage selection, insert the tip of a pen into one of the holes on the switch, then
slide the switch to the correct setting.
