Using my iPAQ 2210 in South America

[tshaffer]

I'm going to be visiting Chile in a few months, and would like to take my iPAQ 2210 with me for obvious reasons. Has anyone used their iPAQ in a South American country that has AC power of 220 v 50 hz?

The 2200 series User Guide lists the specs on the power supply as:
100 to 240 v switching (50hz to 60hz).
However, I can find no switches or places to change settings on the power transformer. The same specs are printed on the side of the transformer that plugs into the wall outlet.

Does this mean that I can simply plug it in (with the right prong adapter) and it will automatically switch to that power type?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey tshaffer I went to Peru last december and my Pocket PC iPAQ 2210 worked perfectly with 220 v. Don't worry

I will disclaim by saying I haven't used my PPC in Chile, but I have used my *laptop* in France and Portugal. It was fine - all I needed was the socket adapter, not a power adapter. The AC brick part did the power adapting automatically. I think that's pretty common with a lot of electronic devices, but always check first. ;)
