The adapter indicates 120v~. The power cable leads to a door held on by a screw. Behind is where the A/C adapter plugs in. I have seen the same product available in another country that is 220v. If you can find the 220v version of the power adapter, it will be an easy swap.

I have discovered that the clock is set only to specific time zones in the USA. If you use an iPhone it will sync the time, but it will offset the time zone you are at in relation to the time zone set in the clock by the iPhone DSappli app. My suggestion is to set the clock to a time zone exactly 12 hours away. For example, if you are in Hong Kong (UTC +8:00), set it to UTC -8:00 (California time) and regard PM as AM, and PM as AM.

My answer may be too late for you; however, it's for other who would have similar questions. You cannot connect this adapter directly to a 220v outlet. The backup battery is 3v and that's only to maintain the time & preset stations.
The adapter's conversion to DC power could be 6v and that's my assumption. In India, any electrical shop technician can wind a transformer for 220v for just $5. May be, in Hong Kong or China, they do it that cheap.
It will say on the adapter which voltages it is compatible with.
If it is not listed, be sure to get a voltage converter from an electronics store.

No, the adaptor doesn't say what it adapts. I took it to an electronics store and was told that the adaptor converts 120v ac to 3v dc. I then asked if I could just cut the Canadian adaptor off and fit a local 240v ac to 3v dc adaptor. The guy said yes, but you'd have to go inside to make the connections and that was a bit risky. Anyway, I've taken the easy way out and bought an adaptor for 240v to 120v ac and it works perfectly fine - just a bit bulky with the Canadian adaptor and the Hong Kong adaptor.
