Power Adapter The included power adapter, is it global (100v to 240v) or works for North America only? (110v)Also, is there a plugin to stream from YouTube.com ?Cheers.

The adapter will work 100V to 240V. However, you will need a separate power cord if you take it outside of North America.Yes, there is a YouTube plug-in. Just go to DivX Labs (labs.divx.com/node/7159)

US has a power surge input of 110v, Australia has the highest one globally with 240v. If it does not work it will burn your device. I bought one in the US and I live in Europe which has a current of 220v. I was advised to buy a power convertor. Something that converts to an output of 9v 700mA. Any electrical shop will have that. Having said that, when I opened the box of the Leap Pad 2 Power I bought for my son the AC adaptor that comes with it says Input 100v - 240v and the leaflet that came with it lists the different currents for US/Canada, UK/Europe and Australia/NZ. I am thinking it comes prepared for all these countries but it does not state this clearly so I still have doubts. I am going to research more but the safest bet is to buy the power convertor which should be no more that 20 ozzie dollars.

I did not use it outside US. But based on the description on the back of the power adapter it should support 100-240V input.

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.

Yes, you can use it in countries with 220v power supply. In the description, it says it has worldwide voltage 110v-240v. I used the adapter when I was in China for a business trip. But you will need a proper connector attached on the adapter since the wall socket may be different from that in the US. Hope this helps.

The adapter itself is dual voltage. Plus it usually ships with two adaptor plugs, for North America and Europe.

No I'm sorry, the adapter that comes with this product is a US standard power outlet, you'll have to get a converter.

Worldwide Usability:This unit works with 100-240v AC power so it will work worldwide, you just have to adapt the plug to what your region is!

This is the right adapter for US devices to plug into Australia/New Zealand power outlets - I've used many of them myself in Australia. But remember it does not convert the power. Some devices (e.g., hairdryers) will also require a transformer to convert the local power to something the device can handle, otherwise it will burn out (danger!). US devices are built for 110 or 120 volt input, while NZ will be supplying at 220 or 240 volt. Read the fine print on your device's power supply cord or owner's manual to see what type of voltage the device is expecting. Other devices (e.g., laptops and mobile phones) are more flexible and accept 110 to 240 volt input, so you'll only need the plug adapter for those devices, but read up on your models to be sure. In short, use plug adapters for physically getting your plugs into the outlet, but also take a 240 to 120v transformer (step down transformer) for any devices that expect 120v input when the supply is 240v. Happy travels!

Hi, Lu- It has US, European, and English/Irish inputs and outputs - which also cover Japan, Thailand, Australia, and other places - so it's pretty universal. Note that it does not change voltages. It is an adapter, not a power converter. I don't particularly like how it fits into some inset wall outlets in Europe - the device has some weight to it, so it can tend to pull out of the wall. There are small adapters for Europe that work much better.

Actually, I bought this while I was living in the US and I moved to Australia (where power is 230V). It worked fine (with a plug converter), and my Netgear adapter had '110V-240V', so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Note that I got V2 of this-- I can't say anything about V1.

I bought one of these, the power adapter operates on 100-240 volts, it is a 'switching' AC adapter with 6 volt output. Depending on your local type of AC outlet, you may need an adapter as it has the U.S. style 2-prong plug only.

I just got it a week ago. The power adapter is rated for dual voltage. It has a removable plug for use in Europe and the good ole USA. Hope it helps.

the power adapter is 100-240V. Fur UK you will need another power cord or a plug adapter from US to UK outlet.

Not sure what you are asking. Why would you plug this into 220 in north America? if you are using devices that need 210-220 (50-60 hz) and you have a 220 source you don't need this. This device will give 220 when plugged into a 110-120 volt outlet. I bought one of these for some European friends visiting the states and it worked just fine.

It appears that the adaptor is the correct type. Just make sure it fits an Australian type plug. Australian/Chinese/Argentine sockets generally supply electricity at between 220 and 240 volts AC. If you're plugging in an appliance that was built for 220-240 volt electrical input, or an appliance that is compatible with multiple voltages, then an adapter is all you need. If your appliance only accepts 110V then you will need a converter. But adapters do not change the voltage, so the electricity coming through the adapter will still be the same 220-240 volts the socket is supplying. North American sockets supply electricity at between 110 and 120 volts, far lower than in most of the rest of the world. Consequently, North American appliances are generally built for 110-120 volts. But that doesn't mean that your specific appliance isn't already compatible with the higher voltage -- it may very well be.

My apologies, as I no longer have the box for this item to confirm if the manufacturer is from China or not. I can tell you it currently comes with the electrical plug in for all North American outlets, to use it in another country (specifically where the outlet configuration is different), you would simply have to buy the outlet adapter specific to that country; these adapters are available on amazon.com as well.
