If you travel to a different continent, you must always acquire the proper plug adapter for that region because your American gadget won't fit in a Euro-style electrical socket. You need to know if you'll just need a power switch adaptor or not. Before connecting your device to a European electrical outlet with the correct adaptor, make sure it's compatible with an electrical range of 110 to 240 volts. You can't use your gadget in a European nation.
