Three-Prong Grounded Power
Cord Set Requirements
Determine whether your AC power cord has a two-prong or three-
prong plug. This appendix presents the three-prong power cord
requirements. If you have a two-prong plug, go to Appendix D.
The wide-range input or automatic line switching feature of your
computer permits it to operate from any line voltage between 100
and 120 or 220 and 240 volts AC.
The power plug or power cord set (appliance coupler, flexible cord,
and wall plug) you received with your computer meets the
requirements for use in the country where you purchased your
computer.
Power cord sets for use in other countries must meet the require-
ments of the country where you use the computer. For more
information on power cord set requirements, contact your Compaq
authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

1. The length of the power cord set must be at least 6.00 feet
(1.8 m) and a maximum of 9.75 feet (3.0 m).
2. All power cord sets must be approved by an acceptable
accredited agency responsible for evaluation in the country
where the power cord set will be used.
3. The power cord set must have a minimum current capacity of
