Charging an iPAQ in the UK

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

The iPAQ power adapter is rated for 110-240 V and 50-60 Hz so your good to go as far as power rating
is concerned. The only issue is physical plug adapters that may or may not be needed while your in
the UK..

If needed, check with Radio Shack or your local travel/luggage store, etc for the correct plug
adapter or a kit...

The US adapter is rated 110/220volts so coupled with the correct US-UK plug
converter you will be fine. Alternatively you could use a cigarette lighter
charger if you are planning to be in a car for any period.
