iv FT5000 HANDBOOK
The computer can function within two alternative AC power supply ranges:
AC power supply (voltage and frequency)
100 - 120 Volt AC, 50 - 60 Hz
200 - 240 Volt AC, 50 - 60 Hz
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 supplier to find out how to change the voltage setting.
CAUTION
It is imperative that the computer is set to the correct voltage range before use. If not, the machine may be irreparably
damaged.
Connecting to the AC power supply
IMPORTANT
Any peripheral equipment that requires an AC power cord must be earthed.
Use the following guidance to connect the components together. It is important that you take each step in the order
indicated.
1.
Before connecting any components, ensure that the AC power supply is switched off or disconnected, and that the
system unit, the monitor, and any peripherals are turned off.
2.
Connect the component signal cables to their respective ports on the system unit: keyboard, mouse, monitor, audio
(where appropriate) and any other peripherals.
Where appropriate, connect the computer to the network.
3.
Connect the component power cords: system unit, monitor to system, plus any other peripherals to nearby, grounded
AC power outlets. (Never substitute a power cord from any other appliance). Then switch on or connect the AC
power supply.
4.
Turn on the system unit first, then the monitor, then other peripherals.
WARNING
The Handbook contains procedures which require opening of the system unit. Ensure
all
cables (including modem and network
cables) are disconnected before the system unit is opened
.
Power Cable Connections - UK ONLY
This equipment is supplied with an AC power cord that has a non-removable moulded plug.
Always replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating which is BSI or ASTA approved to BS1362. Always refit the
fuse cover, never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted.
External Speakers (where supplied)
Always switch off or disconnect the AC supply before disconnecting any of the speaker leads, whether audio or power.
Disconnect the AC supply from the speaker power unit when not in use for any period of time.
To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not remove speaker covers.
Connecting the speaker power cord to any other cords or joining cords together can cause fire and risk of electric shock.
