(note: no guarantee that the below hints work, try it at your own risk)
- Check the type label on your device, if it supports 100-240 Volts and 50-60 Hertz, if so it should work using a plug adapter, e.g. for Europe to US
- Most devices involving engines and heaters (e.g. hair dryers, toasters, drills, vacuum cleaners) won't work with the lower voltage and that's why we bought them in the US
- If it's a device that is not supposed to work with the above values, a power converter would be required. For my German TV (only supporting 230 Volts) I got this converter from Goldsource and it works like a charm
- But although my TV has a built-in digital receiver, I had to get an external receiver to be able to use the antenna's signal, as it's based on a different system
