Can someone please tell me how to charge the portable device itself? I want to know if/how I can charge this numerous times while in Europe.

It will charge via USB. If you have something to plug the USB cable into (the other end is micro-USB, which plugs into the device) then you are set. European electric is It will charge via USB. If you have something to plug the USB cable into (the other end is micro-USB, which plugs into the device) then you are set. volts mostly . You will likely need to convert to 120 volt depending on the charger you use,some will accept 240 when you plug them in. Be VERY careful to read the specs on the charger before useing it. Amazon has conversion kits to change voltage. Also there are many different types of 240 plug ends for overseas .they ar in this kit. I hope this helps.

Just plug the device into a USB port onto any computer (or any other device that has a USB port) or plug it into the wall of you have a wall USB to wall adapter. So yes, so long as you'll have access to a powered USB port, you'll be able to recharge it as often as you want.

You have two options. Option one plug it into your laptop (it will take longer than option two). Option two, you plug it into a wall outlet with a USB to outlet converter. I use the second as it charges up quickly.

You can use your phone charger if:a) It has a slot for USB in it (so you can plug in the provided USB to Micro USB cable), orb) It's cable has a micro USB connector on the endYou can also plug the provided cable into anything with a USB port: computer, car, etc.The more powerful the charger, the faster it will be. My old phone charger takes 5 hours. I would expect a laptop USB slot to take even longer. New chargers for tablets are probably much faster.

Sorry, I live in the US. Do not know how it would work in Europe. I like my machine. Phillis

I live in Europe. and don´t understand the wallcharger. To me it's a strange thing.I wanted the product for the cable: to have a spare one. But is the wrong cable and doesnot fit the up24.You can use the PC with the usb cable, and If you have a wallcharger you don't need a PC to charge your up.

Hi Jack,I bought this for my wife for Christmas. It is charged through USB only, which is a problem for her because she wanted to use it from her iPad. It works OK, but if the battery gets low she can't recharge it without USB.

Hi! I am going to Europe and I just purchased this wall charger. After reading all posts about burnt IPods I got really scared. What if voltage difference will burn my IPod. Has anyone tried this product in Europe?

Greetings. Could you please help to inform what product you used the charger to charge? Did you use the original USB cable of your equipment? Thank you.

I do not own either, but I see no reason why any USB device couldn't be charged using this device. It works on my tablet, phone, e-cigs, and MP3 player. To charge my phone the phone has to be off (otherwise it tries to boot from the USB). That applies to the tablet, as well. If your charging cable ends in an USB it will likely charge. If you have difficulty charging, try turning it off. I've found that it will fully charge my tablet once OR charge all my other devices (2 e-cigs 1300's, phone and MP3 player) once.

I tested my US plug, also, & it worked well, but only for 1 device. Would not charge a second. I arrived in Germany on Friday & the EU plug isn't working at all. Very disappointed over the wasted money!

Hi , I do think is ok to use it in Europe , I just check the charger and it dos say that is ok from 100-240w . Europe is using 220w . So I do think is ok.

Are you describing the charger that you have in your possession? Which plug are you describing as looking cheap? Is that the adapter for European electric outlets?

Yes, I just used this in London and South Africa for 6 weeks, with no problems at all. Just make sure to bring the correct adapter for the countries you are visiting. I never blew anything, never failed to charge. I just got back September 2015. So to all those that said no, suspect they did not have the right adapter for the country they were in.

Hi Phil, For some reason when I order this Unit I was sent a device that was set-up for International / Other Countries. The Unit came with an AC Adapter / Charger that had the plugs that are common in Europe, included also in the box was an AC Converter adapter to match and mate with the plugs used in the USA. This caused a whole series of problems for me because it wouldn't re-charge the Battery beyond 65%. When I spoke to Sony the service people told me to do an entire Software System Upgrade. I followed their directions and it did not solve the problem. Only until I used my Computer to Charge the Tablet did I determine that the International version charger along with the US Converter was the problem. I have requested from Sony that they send me a normal USA version AC Charger Unit and its coming in the mail. So my advise to you if you're in the States is to make sure they don't send you a Unit that is sold abroad (i.e. Internationally).

You will need to add the European adapter plug. I've used this both in Italy and in Africa. Very handy...with several charging options in one plug.

Hi, I thought the screen was large enough for me and not too clunky to be portable. I field tested it and it worked perfectly in Germany, Belgium and Holland, so imagine it would work in France as well. The unit comes with a car charger but NOT a wall charger. Might want to get one of those. I kept it in a side pocket of my backpack and it was fine but you can always get a travel like pouch for added protection. You do have to tell the unit in which country you are in-it does not adjust automatically. It has a side port for an sd memory card and while it is a little tricky to spot it is there and I slipped inside an additional card in case I want to add any extras in the future. It worked for me and got me around. And now I use it in the States. Best of both worlds!
