SUBJECT: EQUITY I+ / EQUITY III+ WORLDWIDE POWER SELECTION  (1 of 1)

The purpose of this bulletin is to caution you on the use of the
115/230 VAC power selection on the Equity I+ and Equity III+
personal computer.

The new Equity I+ and Equity III+ personal computers have the
capability of operating both in the U.S.A. and internationally
through a switch selectable 115/230 Volt, 60/50Hz power supply.

Both Equity units have a separate A.C. outlet on the rear panel for
providing AC power to a peripheral device (usually a monitor). The
power is controlled by the system unit on/off switch. 

It is very important that you inform users who intend to use the
system internationally, that any peripheral device which is
connected to this outlet must be configured to operate on the same
input voltage that is supplied to the Equity system unit.

In other words, you must not connect a peripheral device which
requires 115 VAC to the rear panel outlet if the input voltage to
the Equity system is 230 Volts or serious electrical damage to the
peripheral device may occur.
