Using iPAQ in France? Will it blow up?

[lizamay]

Can I plug it in to 220 Volts? It says on the charger: "100 - 240 V" ... Should I trust this? Or will I blow up my brand new gadget?

Thanks again,

Liza

Trust it. As long as the converter reads "110-240" or similar it should work just fine.

have fun!

Have fun using your iPAQ in Europe. I go over once a month and never have had a problem. The only thing you may need to get is the correct adapter for the plug. Do not confuse adapter for transformer. An adapter just converts the style of the plug a transform converts the type of power. You need the adapter..

Hey Rikmac,

Thanks for the help. Yeah, it took me a couple of confused days until I figured out the difference between those two things. I WISH I had found YOU first, and this nice clear explanation. There really is no difficult concept here - I don't know why it took me several days to get it straightened out. (lol lol)

Anyway, thanks for the explanation.

I WILL have fun in France. I plan to!

And if you have any more great tips about "staying wired" over there, you can reach me privately (since it's off-topic for this forum) at: lizamay@comcast.net.

Thanks for the help!
