UK Laptop and iPAQ in USA
The power supply for my laptop can take anything from 110 - 250 volts, 50
to 60 Hz, so it would be no problem for me. Have a look on yours, it might have a sticker that says what it can handle. If not, read the manual for your laptop.

I know you can buy adapters that convert from UK plugs to USA plugs but do I need something to convert the actual electrical supply? Anyone who can help with this? Thanks in advance, JB |

The US system is around 110 volts, isn't it? So your adapter for the
phone may be a problem. I have an Evo N1015v as well, and that should work just fine. On Mon, 23 Jun 2003 15:05:41 +0100, JB wrote: Thanks for the reply. I now feel a bit more confident! My exact hardware is as follows: Compaq iPAQ 3760 Compaq Evo N1015v Siemens S55 I will check the PDA and Laptop when I get home but the phone adapter says: 230V~ 0.3A 50/60Hz - 5V _ 0.4A.
