Roger,

Check your ac battery adapter for input  working voltage range. The newer
ones usually will work from 100-240vac, the frequency is not an issue with
these units, just get an ac plug adapter.  The modem line connector plug is
also different, you can get an adapter for both online. The modem itself
should work ok although it's suppose to be  BABT approved for use in the
UK.. Check this website for good info:
