these switches. Mains voltages in Saudi
Arabia are 127 V and 220 V only. Never use
this model with the 110 V setting in Saudi
Arabia.
The line voltage selector switches are on the rear

plugging the power cord into the household wall
socket. If the voltage is not properly set or if you
move to an area where the voltage requirements
differ, adjust the selector switches as follows.
1. Use a medium-size screwdriver.
2. First, insert the screwdriver in the groove of
the upper voltage selector, and adjust so that
the tip of the groove points to the voltage value
of your area.
3. Next, insert the screwdriver in the groove of
the lower voltage selector and adjust until the
voltage is the same as at the upper one.
CAUTION 220 V
