International use
The PowerBook AC Adapter can handle a wide range of voltages; a step-
down transformer is not required. See the bottom of your power adapter for
voltage information, and check local power voltages before using the
PowerBook in a location outside the U.S. You may need a plug adapter to fit
the adapter to an outlet.
To use a printer or other device in a location outside the U.S., you may need a
step-down transformer. Obtain the transformer in the area you’re traveling to.
It should be able to handle at least 150% of the equipment’s power
requirements (as stated on the product label or in the technical
specifications). You must use the transformer with a grounded outlet. A surge
protector is highly recommended.
International repair and service
Apple’s global limited warranty covers your Apple products for one year,
regardless of where the products were purchased. Apple-authorized service
providers in more than 80 countries can handle most repairs (unless the
repair involves a component specific to another area of the world). Bring a
copy of your proof of purchase with you.
Because of variations in environment and power supplies, Apple is not
responsible for damage to Apple products used outside the U.S.
Service and support
If your computer is malfunctioning but does not appear to be physically
damaged, shut it down (and leave the power adapter plugged in, if possible)
until you can get help.
If you know or suspect that your computer is physically damaged, disconnect
the power adapter, remove the battery, and do not use the computer until it
can be repaired.
See the service and support information that came with your computer for
information about how to contact the Apple Assistance Center for customer
assistance.
