X-rays & TPs
Just FYI: my TP750Cs has survived all the X-ray scanning it's been
subjected to in Europe. Never a problem, as far as I can tell. Maybe
airports in the US use greater doses of radiation?... :)
Now, it's "pay back time" - after my precious, precious bit of info,
tell me what I need to know :) I'm taking my precious TP for its
first trans-atlantic trip. Soon, very soon, it'll be (safely) going
through the scanner at JFK in NY. That doesn't worry me at all; what
I'm worried about is *afterwards*... My AC adapter says:
INPUT 100-240V~ 0.95-0.50A
"RU" at 100-120V~ 0.95-0.81A for USA
(the "RU" above is on fact a symbol that I've never seen before: write
a capital U, followed by a capital R, so that the right vertical line
in the U shares the same position as the left vertical line of the R;
now make the "double letter" italic; now hold a mirror in front of
it and look at the image - that's it! Since I'm a curious guy, can
someone tell me what this "registered trade mark" stands for?)
Anyway, the question is not about a silly symbol! :) What I want to
know is, can I use my AC adapter in the US?... From what it says, I'd
guess that the answer is yes, but a silly tech. man from my dealer
was very hesitant about providing a definite yes... Is there someone
out there who can shed some light on this?
In case it's of interest to anyone, here's some more info on the adapter:
P/N 49G2192 [FRU P/N 49G2196]
P/N 49G2194
and, on its belly
P/N 49G2143
(can someone tell me why a SINGLE, little AC adapter shows FOUR different
part numbers?!?!)
And if you're really, really curious: Ser.No.3X235791
Now I should get back to work.
Many thanks for your attention so far.
Regards from Copenhagen,
Paulo
