Has anyone used this adaptor in Argentina? I've read that Argentinian outlets are also Type I but with reverse active/neutral polarity.

No, we purchased this adaptor after traveling to Argentina, I had a adaptor that was used for several european vacations that I used on the trip to Argentina which worked fine, that is all I can remember. Argentina is fabulous!

It does accept an adaptor, in fact I installed one and am using it right now in Italy ! (Sierra Gobi).

Probably! You should check the outlet design for the country in South America on the Internet, just to be sure.

Never checked it on other countries.There are different adapters from the same brand for other countries.Anyway, I am very satisfied with this product ( I bought several units)

It has worked well for me. No problems even in Italy, using the extra prong-thing to adapt to their outlets.

'different circuit' is ambiguous. I have a large house with two phases coming in (allowing for 220V appliances). The units work without issue as long as they are both on the same 'phase' - even if controlled by different circuit breakers. But if the two units are on separate phases then I can't imagine they would work since there is no direct connection between the two phases (other than by 'neutral') - but I haven't yet specifically tried this. So far, the units have worked on every outlet I've tried.

I have not looked at the details on the adapter, but I believe it is 12v DC. This is the usualvoltage for antenna amps. Good luck. I'll look at the adapter and get back to you if it is NOT 12 VDC

When I needed one, I simply bought a broad spectrum selectable adapter... radio shack has them, so does amazon. they're a bit more pricy, but they are useful for other equipment. A good one will allow you to choose both the voltage/amps AND the polarity so that you can be sure not to fry the circuits in whatever hardware you're powering... you can find out what voltage and polarity you need by looking at the panel on the unit, or by checking the user manual.

La información del manual indica que los adaptadores -ambos son iguales- funcionan en un rango de 100 a 240 voltios. Abajo incluyo lo que dice el manual.Adaptador para la unidad del bebé: - Entrada: 100-240 VCA 50/60Hz - Salida: 6,0 VCC 0,8A - Adaptador n.º OH-1048A0600800U1Adaptador de la unidad para padres: - Entrada: 100-240 VCA 50/60Hz - Salida: 6,0 VCC 0,8A - Adaptador n.º OH-1048A0600800U1

I did a quick check on the voltage used in Brazil. It's usually same as here (110/120) or, in some cities can be 220. The suggestion was to contact the hotel/s you're staying in and ask. Many provide both types of outlets. The step-down should work if 220 is only option but I'm truly not 100% sure. Good luck.

I'm afraid I don't know :-(. I bought it for my trip to South America. It turned out I really didn't need it because I found out all of my appliances worked well with 110/220 :-)

I know for sure that it works in Belgium since I bought them for use in this specific country. It is a 220 adapter, so just find out what outlets they have in France and Amsterdam. Thanks.

Thank You. But its impossible to buy the correct adapter without reviewing the voltage and Current specifications. But after I asked my question I found the right one on Amazon, and it was not this one, although they look the same.

The adapter worked beautifully for me. The converter is not needed if you look very carefully at the plugs on your appliances. Reading the fine print most new items will convert automatically and all that is needed is the adapter. You will see it will work on either the 110 or 230-240 volt and all that is needed is the adapter. In fat one hotel had the converter/adapter built in and I just plugged it into the wall like at home.

It sounds like your electrical outlets are the un-grounded type (both slots the same size). You can purchase an adapter at a hardware store, probably less than $1.00.

Yes, the outlets there are different. Be sure when buying to buy the right the correct adapter, they range from continent and even country sometimes.

Get in touch with their customer service, the service is amazing... Had some problems with the adaptor which here in Costa Rica is around $50(believe it or not) and was amazed when they sent me one without charge.. Will definetly be buying from them again.
