Connecting the adapter and AC Power cord

•  Check first to make sure that the power cord you use is the correct type required for 

your area.

•  The monitor has a universal power supply that allows operation in either 100/120 V AC 

or 220/240 V AC voltage area. No user-adjustment is required.

• 

Plug one end of the AC power cord to the Adapter, and plug the other end into an AC 

outlet.

•  For units using 120 V AC:

Use a UL-listed cord set, type SVT wire and plug rated 10 A/125 V.

•  For units using 220/240 V AC:

Use a cord set consisting of H05VV-F cord and plug rated 10 A/250 V. The cord set 

should have the appropriate safety approvals for the country in which the equipment 

will be installed.
