Travelling to Australia - will I need a voltage converter

[thulsey]

I'm going on a trip to Australia and will be wanting to take my Dopod 818Pro along - but I'm not sure if I can get by with just bringing an outlet adapter or if i need a voltage converter... I have a 110V plug.

sorry if this is obvious - my knowledge of the actual laws of electronics are pretty minimal. :oops:

Thanks in advance!

Hi Travis,

Depends on the transformer that comes with your unit. THe local power supply here is 240 V so something that works at 110V is no good. Many transformers these days do work at a full range of voltages though. Hope this helps

Thanks evlado!

Actually that helps a lot! Just looked at the back of my transformer and it ranges from 100V~240V @ 50-60Hz...

Thanks a million!

If an adapter rate at 110~240 V/50~60 Hz, this mean this adapter can use over the world. Normally there is no transformer inside the power adapter of the mobile phone, it's a kind of power switching device inside.
