220V

240V
The available power supply voltage differs according to country or region. However, this unit
is equipped with an Automatic Voltage Selector.
The power supply voltage of the area where the unit will be used automatically meets the
required voltage within the range of AC 220 - 240 V, without any manual voltage adjustment.
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a
standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal
household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be
correctly wired to provide connection to earth.
Improper extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the equipment
operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation
is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power
point, consult a qualified electrician.
