Operating the Apricot XEN
Chapter 3
Using the Apricot XEN abroad
Your Apricot XEN arrives ready to work with the commercial
AC power supply available in the country in which it is first sold.
If you plan to use your XEN in another country, you should first
check the following facts about your destination:
1. The voltage and frequency of the commercial AC power
supply.
2. The type of plug required for the AC power outlets.
The XEN can function within two alternative AC power supply
ranges, according to the position of the voltage selection switch
on the rear of the system unit:
AC power supply
Switch setting
(voltage and frequency)
115 100 - 120 volt AC, 50 - 60 Hz
230 220 - 240 volt AC, 50 - 60 Hz
It is imperative that the Apricot XEN is set to the
correct voltage range before use. If not, the machine
may be irreparably damaged.
The voltage setting of the monitor must always be the same as
the voltage setting of the system unit. See the
User’s Guide that
accompanies the monitor or consult your Apricot supplier to
find out how to change the voltage setting.
Make sure that the Apricot XEN and its monitor are returned
to their original voltage settings when you return home.
The AC power cord and plug supplied with the Apricot XEN
comply with the safety standards applicable in the country in
which it is first sold. If you plan to use your computer in another
country, you must get a power cord that complies with the
safety standards of the destination country. For further details,
see the “Safety and Regulatory Notices” section at the start of
this handbook.
See Chapter 4, “Caring for the Apricot XEN”, for more
information about transporting the XEN.
