Before travelling abroad for business or personal reasons, you might need to check the voltage requirements of your electronic devices first. This is especially applicable if you are planning to bring along with you a cellular phone, laptop computer or music player.
These gadgets usually have voltage information attached in the battery compartment or the underside. The voltage range in most countries is 110 Volts – 240 Volts. If your device states that is it auto volt, then you only have to worry about the plug specification. If not, you will need a voltage adapter or portable transformer. Check the type of plug that your battery charger and power outlet cord have. If you are not sure of the specifications of your country of destination regarding voltage and plug type, you can search the Internet using the keyword “world voltage and plug specification.”
