switch, ensure that the voltage selection switch is set to match the AC

power available at your location:

– 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far

Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan

– 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan

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

though the AC power available in Japan is 100 V.

– 230 V/50 Hz in some regions in the Caribbean and South America

and most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East

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

to operate with the AC power available in your location.
