❑Your computer operates on 100–120 V AC 50/60 Hz only.

❑Plug all the power cords for your computer and its peripheral equipment into the same AC supply line. AC derived from different supply lines may result in voltage differences that can cause unstable operation or unwanted weak currents at the time of connection.

❑Do not share the AC outlet with any other power-consuming equipment, such as copying machines or shredders.

❑You can purchase a power strip with a surge protector. This device prevents damage to your computer caused by sudden power surges such as those that may occur during an electrical storm.

❑If you live in an area that experiences frequent power fluctuations, you may want to purchase a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). This device contains both a surge protector and a battery backup. The surge protector prevents damage to your computer caused by power surges. The battery backup safeguards your data during a brief period of power loss.
