i bought the phone from the US , i went back to europe and bought two 220v 7.5v universal AC adapaters for 5$ each , and that's it ! it works fine ! just make sure the ac adapaters are over 500ma

With input of 220 v and out voltage of 7.5 v output of 150 ma or 500ma, it should be possible to get such adopters in bigger cities in India if the adopters you get from amazon are for 110 v. Typically such adopters could cost anything between Rs.200- 400 per piece. Only thing you need to check is if the base units output is DC or AC Before you buy the adopter in India. For the charger anyway the output has to DC.

Mine came with 110V only adapters. Output for the handset charger is 7.5V, 150mA. Base is 7.5V 500mA.

The AC/DC questions is kinda important before I order this thing to use in Europe. So if anyone can check their adapters for that, I'd be very happy :-)

I gifted this to my father to use in India. within 1 day of use with 220v the adapter was dead. After that my brother was able to find a compatible 220v adapter ans it works well noe

Hi Constanza,I dont believe this is a problem because the monitor uses very little power. My son and his wife used it and I saw it work very well.However you do need an adapter or a converter in order to use with 220.An adapter is worth having. I used the adapter on my trips, and it's inexpensive.You can purchase it here at Amazon. Good luck,Yaelle

Jade, I used it in the Philippines & they have 220 V. Used it to power my PS4, for sometimes 8 hrs straight. No problem encountered.

My unit came with an AC adapter which shows (operating range) of 110-220. Both 'prongs' are the same size (ie......it is not N. American POLARIZED plug in.So the transformer should work TRUE 110- 220. You can also run the unit on 4 AA batteries which they refer to as PORTABLE MODE.

Yes, the power brick that comes with the unit shows 120 - 220V 1.5A (1.5A), so it will work if you have an adapter. The manual also recommends to make sure the adapter has the third ground connection as well.

Actually, I bought the item and checked by myself. The adapter works with both 110 and 220 volt. You just need a basic converter for the outlet.

See! I shipped about three units of mine to Uganda where we are doing some community work and guess what? they use 240volts and it works perfectly. It is actually universal power supply, so you need not worry. The only thing about this great device is that don't let it fall down hard on a solid floor as the driver may unmount, that happened to me as I was using them on speaker stands but fixed with the help of my Aradite glue. Ok! bye for now

Power adapter is 100-240V, 50-60Hz, 150mAh input, 5V, 1A output.That'll work anywhere in the world I can think of. Make sure you have the right plug adapter (you will NOT need a transformer, but just a plug adapter to physically fit the plug to wherever in the world you are traveling to). You can find these things at travel stores, AAA, drugstores, department stores, etc.

The adapter does handle up to 240volt. Some countries require a plug adapter; plug in prongs vary by country. Probably $10 or less; check Amazon of course.

Hi there. I'm from Venezuela and here we normally use 110 V as the main source of electricity. I don't recall quite well wheather the mic can work on 220 V or not, but waht I can ensure you is that the microphone works superbly and one doesn't need to worry about the battery endurance for it lasts up to 30 hrs nonstop! I recommend it highly!

Hi There:This adapter transform ac input voltage to dc output for telephone. If outlet voltage at your home is 220 Volts there is no reason to not work. Adapter output voltage is a little high in order to load batteries installed.

I wanted to know that too. Just found this on his webpage: * Universal voltage (120-240V), perfect for worldwide travel So it looks like only an adapter plug would be needed not a transformer.

hey man, a few months ago a bought this unit, I live in south america and we also have 220 volt. but that is not a problem any more, you just have to get an electrical converter transformer in a electric shop, they are not expensive and the sound sistem works really good with it, even when there is a blackout or something the transformer shout down all system for protection of the equipment. so is very easy to get the system works in a 220 volt country.

Hi - the power adapter lists as being compatible with 100-240V, so provided you have the right socket adapter (so the plug fits) you should be good!

hi, we have to use the converter/adapter to be used to change to the required voltage then it will work fine.I took it to India, and working for me.It is a good product ,i recommend this product.Thanks.

You can use this abroad, though be aware that it isn't all that light or travel friendly. First, you must be able to plug this into an ethernet connection (a router, a second NIC on your computer if you have one, or a wall plug if you're in a hotel). As more and more hotels are going with wifi, you'll be able to set this up in fewer and fewer places. Second, it only works on 110-120 volts. This means you have to get more than just the standard plug adapter for foreign outlets (which are usually fine for your laptop, cell phone, ipod, etc., which most likely accept 110v-240v). Instead, you will need a voltage adapter, which are a bit pricier. You'll need one to go from 220/240 to 110/120 to use this in most parts of the world. Plus, be sure to check that the adapter is rated for the correct wattage, as most step-down adapters only provide a certain range of watts (i.e., 0-50, 50-800, 800-2400, etc). (why phillips, a european company, doesn't just make products which accept 110-240 is beyond me; well, actually, its so that they can prevent parallel imports, but that's another story). Third, because you have to plug-in both the base station and the handset station, you'll need two of the above adapters. Fourth, it's a bit clunky to carry about with you when travelling. Finally, there are some countries where government censors block skype from being used through ISPs, including (i think) china and many mid-east countries. so it won't work there. You would be much better off getting any of the numerous skype-enabled USB phones which can be purchased for about 1/3 the price of this unit, as these can just be plugged into your computer, without any power conversion issues, no matter where you are on earth (apart from the above-mentioned countries) and, so long as your computer has an internet connection, you're good to go.
