question
Is the power adaptor suitable for 240V using in Australia ?
March 2019: Yes. I bought two of these and both came with five different plug adapters that affix to a modular power cord (w/o its own terminals). Useful set, though these aren't really meant for travel.
EU AC input plug, p/n 100693228
US/CN AC input plug, p/n 100693227
UK AC input plug, p/n 100693229
KR AC input plug, p/n 100693230
AU AC input plug, p/n 100693231
This probably doesn't matter, but the UK one has a plastic dummy ground plug. All the rest are two-prong. Hope this helps.
