selection switch

(may not be

available on all

computers)

Your computer is equipped with either an auto-sensing voltage selector or

a manual voltage selection switch. Computers with an auto-sensing

voltage selector do not have a voltage selection switch on the back panel

and can automatically detect the correct operating voltage.

To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage selection

switch, set the switch for the voltage that most closely matches the AC

power available in your location.

NOTICE:

The voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position

even though the AC power available in Japan is 100 V.

Also, ensure that your monitor and attached devices are electrically rated

to operate with the AC power available in your location.
