Amazon needs to rewrite this. What they are trying to say is that you can choose the appropriate universal adaptor for the country you are going to and it will universally accept plugs from every country except South Africa. In other words as long as you are not from South Africa you can use thee adaptors.

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!

We have two types of power plugs, one is for the US and the other is for European. Thank you.

The supplier has sent you a unit with a European plug in error! Same thing happened to me. As I travel to Europe, I already had a foreign adapter. I would send unit back. Failing that you will have to spend $6-$10 for travel adapter.

I bought it standard US plugs. My guess is no from experience traveling there with electronics.

I am not sure what the plugs look like for Botswana and Zambia. But there is quite a selection to choose from. The big issue though, is that it does not convert from 110 to 220 power. Thus, it may be of limited use. I ended up buying a power converter that actually converts from 110 to 220 for a trip to China. I will not be taking the Kensington with me on that trip.

I successfully used them on a recent visit to France. Here is s link to a reference citing the types of plugs used in all countries. It also indicates that some sockets will be compatible with outlets that use a different outlet. I hope this is helpful. http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/

Yes, you just need to clarify with the seller which they have. I bought one that came with a US plug, but one of the lights didn't work, so I returned it. I found another slightly cheaper which came with a UK plug, but it wasn't listed as coming from or having this plug. I ended up using a simple plug in charging plug with it instead of having to go through the trough the trouble of returning it again. My brother loves it, but the purchase was frustrating.

I don't even know what that means, and if it means the different type outlets ( like in Europe) no, I dont think it would work. Sorry.

I'm moving to Africa soon and I'm in the same situation... I saw this sub in Best Buy and it says on the back 100-240V 50/60Hz so shouldn't be an issue. I want to confirm if the ones supplied by Amazon are the same???

NO, this is a European plug (hence the EU after the g7200) To get a US plug search for the g7200 without the "eu"

No. None of the universal adapters work in South Africa. You will need to buy a specific South African adapter. Some of the hotels where I have stayed did have a European style 2 prong plug in the rooms but it was not common especially outside of Johannesburg, Durban and Capetown.

Teresa is correct. The plug is for Northern Europe. On the strip cord, you can plug in German, French, UK, or US plugs.

I had the same problem. I believe they are sending units that have the European type plugs. I plan to wire a US type plug on mine.

I'm not sure I follow your question. Are you buying for use outside of the US? If anything, I'd check the manufacturer website or get their customer service line from Amazon to find out. The plug is a three pronged one. If that helps any.

Under safety instructions, it reads: for connection to a supply not in the U.S.A., use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet.

You will need a plugin converter. In my case, I'm in a European country right now, and such a simple universal plugin converter solved my problem.

I just looked at the bag of plugs and there is a one plug that says North America, South America, Japan and Caribbean. I would assume that plug then would be good for Brazil. Happy traveling!
