I suspect that all optacons work on the same voltage input, it's just
the
battery charger would be different for the UK. Ours step 110 or 120 ac
down
to let's say 6 or 9 vdc, I can't remember the actual voltage, and in the
UK,
their charger would step 240 down to the same 6 or 9 vdc. Not
absolutely
sure about this but this is how most products work.
Think of your laptop, it likes a certain input to charge and you just
have
to purchase different adapters depending on where you are.

Wilna,
I wish I lived closer to you; I could loan you one of my machines, but
I'm
not sure if a machine set up to work here would work there. I'm in the
USA
and I suspect the circuitry for optacons here and in your part of the
world
are different, due to the electrical requirements being different. We
use
110 to 120 volts to operate equipment here, and I suspect the battery
chargers differ because of that, and therefore the charger input on the
back
of the optacon would be wired differently. Is there anyone in Europe who
would have more knowledge of this?
As for repairing the cable, mine was repaired; I think what he did was
to
cut off the defective part and re-attach the part that still works. It's
shorter, but it works very well.
I really hope you can get some help. If I could afford it and knew it
would
work with your AC (Mains), I'd loan you one of mine.
