What power source does it use? I may need to use it overseas (220V). Is the power unit built-in or a separate multi-voltage "brick"?

Any USB power adapter will work. I used a universal 110/220 v USB power adapter when I went overseas. You need the correct plug adapter for the country your in.

No this uses what is called a Power Brick (Transformer in a plastic shell with the prongs that plugs in wall socket. Usually Pwer bricks come either 110-130 vac 50/60 Hz or 208 to 240 vac 50/60 cycle. in this product it's the 110-130vac 50/60 HZ (cycle). if you plan to use in Europe or countries that use 220. Its possible you can call the company and see if they have a 220 v version available.

I live in Brazil and here the power is 220v. You have this unit to 220v or need a transformer. If you need, which transformer is indicated? Edit | Delete

You plug it into any outlet. If you are out if the country, then you need to use an adapter for that country. Nothing special is needed

I honestly do not know! It is used in a regular 120 outlet. You should be able to add the special connector if you use it overseas?

The power brick will handle from 100 to 240 volts, so as long as you have the right plug or an adaptor, you don't need to worry.

The unit itself has a 12 Volt DC input. The power adapter that comes with it converts AC from the wall to that 12 volt DC. The Rosewill spec page says "Power Adapter, 100-240 VAC(47Hz~63Hz), 12V/2A output". In other words: this is a multi-voltage power adapter. To use it outside of the US you only need the appropriate plug adapter (about $2) but not a pricey voltage/frequency transformer.

110V only - I actually had to replace a unit because like an idiot I hooked up to a 220V outlet overseas.

Hi Jereld, it is an 110 volt AC only, I don't think you can have an external power supply. You would have to run a cord....

The unit that I received is the dual voltage 110/220. It performs very well on either source with better control on thinner material using the 110 volt source.

Not sure what you are asking. This is not a dual voltage item, which to me means it can be used overseas as well as in US.

It has a DC inverter, which you could probably replace with a 220v adapter. I don't have the DC specs handy though.

For overseas you will have to most likely rewire it, most overseas outlets are different than ours in the US.Best to call the company after you find out what the electric volts and plug type is needed from the country its going to. If its going to a American base it may be fine, check before you spend money shipping. Best i got. Good luck. Anybody else?

Hi Mona,There is no need for you to worry about 220v or 110v power source. It runs when you connect it to your laptop or computer via USB. It is powered by USB.

I have not used it overseas yet, but plan to use it in several locations in 2 weeks. It is dual voltage, so should work in most overseas locations as long as you use the appropriate plug adaptor for each country.

Dear Customer,This item is dual voltage for Worldwide use anywhere. The only thing you will need is a plug adapter since the outlets in UK are shaped differently.Thanking you,EWO
