If it had said 110/240V then you would have been looking for a switch to change the voltage input setting as well as the adapter plug. It should be a risk-free exercise. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 259197 | 2004-08-08 03:00:00 | If you own a screwdriver, fitting a NZ plug is a much better idea if the device is going to live in NZ permanently. It will also be cheaper. :D The springs which make the connection in those pin-adapters are so weak that I always expect them to be arcing. If the power box has its pins fixed to it so you ahve to use an adapter, use it on an extension cord,lying on a horizontal surface. If it's plugged into the wall through a pin-adapter, it will fall out. Frequently. | Graham L (2) | ||
