Does it work in Brazil (127V)? I tried it in Rio de Janeiro and it didn't work, so I thought it was broken, but back in the USA it suddenly works.

If the outlet that you plugged it into had 220V identified on it, this Narita would have worked only if you had then put the switch on the bottom in the 220 volt position. If the outlet was in fact a 120 volt outlet, there is the possibility that the switch on the bottom was in the 220 volt position. The position of the bottom switch must be set to the voltage of the outlet. I would think that the switch was likely in the 220 volt position and the outlet was a 127 volt outlet, resulting in the voltage being too low for the unit to work right. If that was the situation, you must have turned the switch from 220 back to 120 when you got home. The 120 volt outlet in Rio being actually 127 volts would not likely have been a factor, as most of these types of items have an engineered protection operating voltage range, that I would guess to be from about 100 volts to 130 volts. To verify what I have said, see what the bottom switch is set to, so you understand a little more of how to properly operate the unit.

im afraid i didnt experience using this in Brazil, but if i try to guess as an engineer, ac127v to transformer to rectifier diodes to cap to dcdc regulator to controller and so on. maybe one of these functionalities didnt work at the input ac127v. this kind of consumer affordible electronic equipment doesnt have an active voltage controller, just shutdown the function to prevent from being damaged when it has a voltage input out of range. i think u r lucky not to damage it. ac127v is not standard to ac110-120v in north america.

I called them but they said you need a different cable. is there a 240V cable? I thought its just the different plug pin configuration? the manual says to contact the miami office for this. anyone know? The back of my TV has the sticker than mentions 100V for north american and below has 100-240 for others. i hope that means it'll work with 240 and just use a adapter for the american pin

If you bought it from amazon in USA or Canada it would be 120V but read the device. On the back of the handle there is a sticker that give the configuration. Mine has 120-127V on the sticker.

My girlfriend took one back to a 220V/50Hz country and it did NOT work. Still working on a solution...

Well i am from the caribbean and it works perfectly so it should work in brazil hope that helps

The supplier has sent you a unit with a European plug in error! Same thing happened to me. As I travel to Europe, I already had a foreign adapter. I would send unit back. Failing that you will have to spend $6-$10 for travel adapter.

I think 33 v may be pushing it a bit. I am using mine on an off-grid cell phone booster. My 24v system will occasionally reach 31v (during battery equalization) and I have not had any issues.

Mine was unlocked (tough not factory unlocked). I use it in Brazil, no problems. The warranty works only for USA, I think... in case of problems you would have to send it to the USA for repairs and get it back. But for the difference in price, you can buy another one from amazon and maybe still pay less than what they charge here =/

Yes, bought it for my sister who lives in Brazil and it works there. But check if it'll work in other countries too.

I used it in Egypt and it works just fine, all you need is just Internet, you also need a 110V-to-220V converters (You will need two one for the charger and one for the base) unless you guys have 110V in Brazil then you will not need that converter.

It instantly blew the fuse away when connected to 230V. The label at the back that says 250V is for Fuse rating only. Don't get fooled by that. I bought this based on one of the answers above. The user seem to have got it working in Brazil but it could be a lower voltage environment. I am still checking for options to make it work other than using a step down transformer.

I am in US, and not using any adaptor for it. so far, it's working properly. I didn't check the voltage requirement, but should be ok.

Yes, I bought mine in the US and I use it in Brazil with no problem at all.

I don't know what the voltage is. I've heard that international versions of this product have different voltages than the U.S. which might explain why we have had issues with this product.

Não sei. Eu não arrisquei. Aqui trabalhamos com 110 volts! É preferível comprar um transformador de 120X100 volts. Aqui no Brasil você compra, inclusive, com redutor de ruídos! Caso não tenha por aí, me procure, e dar-lhe-ei um link de um fabricante aqui no Brasil!

Mine says the same. I bought it for a trip to the US, but when it first arrived I plugged it in here in Australia and it worked. I didn't have it plugged in for ages, but had no issues and we use 230V.

DavdThanks again for yor help. Normaly I use in são paulo states and I think the best is 2100( international version).Alberto
