Make sure the voltage switch on the back of the com-

in the slot and slide the switch. Set the switch to “115” for volt-
ages in the 100-130V range. Set the switch to “230” for voltages in

WARNING:
Your SuperMac C500 computer is equipped with a three wire
grounding plug. This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded.
This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet that you want to use, contact a licensed
electrician to replace the outlet with one that is properly grounded. Do
not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug.
Before you plug your computer in,
check to see that the voltage switch
on the back is properly set. If you
need to change the setting, insert
a small screwdriver here and slide
the switch.
For operation in the USA, set this
switch to show 115. For other
countries, refer to the table later
in this chapter.
