MD8500 Color English Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese) Japanese Dictionary PDF Print E-mail
Written by Fred Choi   
Friday, 09 December 2005

This summer, I bought this gadget from one of the Fortress stores (The "Best Buy" equivalence in Hong Kong). It is a very nice e-dictionary/camera/personal diary/..., and I'm very happy with it so far.

The only problem I had with it, was that the DC converter was not universal as advertised. It didn't work when I try to use it in the US. It looked like the display had gone out, but it turns out that the DC converter was outputing less than the required 6V when being charged at AC 110V. I discovered this problem myself after trying various different things. This problem was fixed after I made a trip to RadioShack, and bought a DC converter unit (DC output at 6V 800mA). The whole thing costs me around $20, which is better than sending it back to HK.
