Fax machine Panasonic KX-FHD331 usage in India (220...

Thanks for all the help.  I did find a transformer for 220 to 110 V on
the web.

I have another question.  
This is about the 60Hz frequency indicated on the back of the Fax
machine.

The 220v in India is at 50Hz frequency.  Now will that matter to the
fax machine or cause any problem as once the AC is converted to DC by
the fax machine, I was told the frequency is lost and it no longer
matters for the operation of the fax machine.

Any suggestions or views on this?

Thanks

If you are lucky and the SMPS uses two 200V filter caps on the primary
side, then all you will need is a new fuse. You will also need to cut
a wire or a trace.

See how this ATX PSU does it:

You will need a line transformer to change the 220VAC down to 120VAC
for the US modle. The wattage rating of the transformer should be a
minumum of about 40% greater than what the fax machine requires.

For safety I use a transformer rated at about double the wattage. Just
make sure that you have no more than 120VAC going to the fax machine,
and it sould be safe.
