Remote Earths

To prevent electrical shock, connect all local (individual office) computers and computer support equipment to the same

electrical circuit of the building wiring. If you are unsure, check the building wiring to avoid remote earth conditions.

Building Supply

Only connect the equipment to a building supply that is in accordance with current wiring regulations in your

country. In the U.K., these are the IEE regulations.

Power Supply

The power supply socket-inlet and socket-outlet (if equipped) are classified as Hazardous Voltage.
You must unplug the power supply cord to disconnect the equipment from the power supply (and remove the battery

if you are using a notebook). In that aim, the socket-outlet should be installed near to the equipment and should be

easily accessible.
In the European countries, before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, check that the voltage selector switch

of the computer's power supply (if available) is in the position “230 V”. In the U.S.A. and Canada, before plugging

the power cord into an AC outlet, check that the voltage selector switch of the computer's power supply (if available)

is in the position “115 V”.
Under no circumstances should the user attempt to disassemble the power supply. The power supply has no user-

replaceable parts. Inside the power supply are hazardous voltages that can cause serious personal injury.
A defective power supply must be returned to your dealer.

Power Cables

This equipment requires a 2-wire, un-grounded power cord. The cord length must not exceed 2.5 metres. To prevent

electrical hazards, do not remove or disable the ground contact on the power cord. Replace the power cord if it gets

damaged. Contact your dealer for an exact replacement. In Europe, the plug must be rated for 250 VAC, 10 amp

minimum. In the U.S.A. and Canada, the plug must be rated for 125 VAC, 10 amp minimum. The plug must display

an international agency approval marking. The cord must be suitable for use in the end-user country. Consult your

dealer or the local electrical authorities if you are unsure of the type of power cord to use in your country.

Cables

For cables which are not delivered with the Product in the computer's packaging:
The EMC performance of the system is guaranteed only if the cable and interface use efficient shielding.
The use of shielded interface cable is required for USB, IEEE1394, serial, printer, game, analogue or digital audio/

video, Ethernet LAN, PS2, TV or FM antennas, and generally all high speeds cables’ interfaces.
Use only UL Listed No. 26AWG or larger telecommunication cords.
Only Ethernet LAN or RTC modem cable can have length exceeding 3 meters.
Packard Bell recommends that you add a ferrite core round clip to each cable connecting your Packard Bell computer

to a hardware device that has not been delivered with your computer.
