It appears that the adaptor is the correct type. Just make sure it fits an Australian type plug. Australian/Chinese/Argentine sockets generally supply electricity at between 220 and 240 volts AC. If you're plugging in an appliance that was built for 220-240 volt electrical input, or an appliance that is compatible with multiple voltages, then an adapter is all you need. If your appliance only accepts 110V then you will need a converter. But adapters do not change the voltage, so the electricity coming through the adapter will still be the same 220-240 volts the socket is supplying. North American sockets supply electricity at between 110 and 120 volts, far lower than in most of the rest of the world. Consequently, North American appliances are generally built for 110-120 volts. But that doesn't mean that your specific appliance isn't already compatible with the higher voltage -- it may very well be.

@Jonathan - The T990 i bought from the US in 2003 had 110-240 volt input written on the adaptor, and I remember clearly that the online manual also said the same thing (that was a deciding factor). The T-980 online manual only mentions 110 and when I spoke to customer support, they said the same thing as in the manual, just as in your case.Ideally, Philips Norelco should come out clearly with this voltage information in the product specs on websites where its products are sold (rather than hiding it in some obscure documents). This would save us a lot of detective work and the guessing games. @Jonathan - The T990 i bought from the US in 2003 had 110-240 volt input written on the adaptor, and I remember clearly that the online manual also said the same thing (that was a deciding factor).

What country are you living? Supplier in America told me that this model will be soon available and checking for similar models for you. Supplier in Asian still have this model but can be use for 220V-240V~50Hz.

The charger states on it 110v only. I tried a step down transformer from 230 -&gt; 110v and the charger would not work with this. In the end just plugged the charger direct into 230v and it seems to work fine (for around 4 months). I suspect the 110v and the 230v chargers that hitachi offers are exactly the same. Hope this helps.

When in doubt, Google it! Google will lead you the APC website and you will have to contact the company. I know they make 230v and others for Russia, France and voltages for some other countries. You have to make sure your country's plugs will be compatible also.

I think they sell it in 115V and 230V with varying plugs for different regions. I would recommend checking out their website.

Hi, I tried that as well, got a response which basically pointed me towards some FAQs which didn't answer the question.I ordered one when I was in the US, and the voltage seems correct, so it should work with just a normal adaptor, but I haven't tried it yet. I think it's 110-240V.

It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter. The power supply of your item is capable of any input voltage from 100v to 230v, and 50 or 60Hz. The US uses 120v and 60Hz so it will work there. The only consideration now is if you have the right plug shape to plug into US wall sockets. I have moved between Canada/US [120v/60Hz] and Europe and Australia [230v/50Hz], so I have some experience with this. All of my electronics that are marked this way worked in these locations (TVs, laptops, most modern chargers).So you don't need an active transformer like this, you just need a simple physical plug adapter like this: Ceptics Grounded Universal Plug Adapter for US (Type B) - 3 Pack It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter.

Hi, I just bought this from Amazon.com last week and received it yesterday. There is an AC adapter inside the box that is dual-voltage (class 2 adapter). It is made by Xing Yuan Electronics Co. Ltd. (China), model # XY-1202000-U. Input is 100-240 VAC, 0.6A Max 50/60 Hz. Output is 12V @ 2.0A. Hope this helps. :)

I've lived in Japan for 6 years--you don't need an adapter to use US devices in Japan, unless maybe you have something that is grounded (3 prongs) as some outlets in Japan aren't grounded. Their voltage is slightly less than ours, 110V as compared to 120V in the United States, so no worries there, either.

Hi, - Region codes for pictures don't exist. - The power adapter can be used worldwide, i.e. it will switch automatically between 110-240V, depending on your country. - It will come with a US plug, hence all you need is an adapter from US pins to your power socket's style. - You do not need a power converter as the the voltage will be adjusted automaticaly, it's just the power plug that needs an adapter. Good luck

That kinda depends on what exactly you are asking. The American version uses a 9volt ac adapter, i.e. 9 volts ac into the unit from the adapter plugged into a 120v wall outlet. If you want to plug the adapter into a 230v wall outlet, you must use a 230v to 9v ac adapter which can be found on Ebay, etc. Just make sure it is the right amperage and is 9 volt ac, not DC. Or you can order a version made for foreign countries that uses 230 volt wall plugs, but I would imagine the unit would be printed in that language. Best advice would be to contact Lexicon support to find your best option.

US has a power surge input of 110v, Australia has the highest one globally with 240v. If it does not work it will burn your device. I bought one in the US and I live in Europe which has a current of 220v. I was advised to buy a power convertor. Something that converts to an output of 9v 700mA. Any electrical shop will have that. Having said that, when I opened the box of the Leap Pad 2 Power I bought for my son the AC adaptor that comes with it says Input 100v - 240v and the leaflet that came with it lists the different currents for US/Canada, UK/Europe and Australia/NZ. I am thinking it comes prepared for all these countries but it does not state this clearly so I still have doubts. I am going to research more but the safest bet is to buy the power convertor which should be no more that 20 ozzie dollars.

I opened the package for this question... The power transformer has a slide off two prong plug and I am assuming that a replacement plug may be attached to accommodate other voltages. The power transformer has written on it -- Input: 100-240V~ 50-60 Hz -- 0.5A Max --- Output: 12V - 1.5A, Center post + (Positive). I do not know data about Singapore electrical needs, but I assume if Singapore residential power is between 100-240V and you had the plug in adapter needed to slide on to the power transformer I'd say you were good to go, or Bob is your uncle. This is a good device, I have friends that use it to charge up their devices and love it. I opened the package for this question...

It will accept plug type from USA, Canada, China, Australia, Japan, Nepal, Hong Kong and every other country you can think of EXCEPT the plug from S. Africa. The Universal input socket is not designed to accept plug from S. Africa. However, this adapter is designed to plug in to S. African Type M socket. Simple!
