Contemplating using a HP 82002A charger/adapter with a HP 67 in Australia.
I'm thinking of purchasing a HP 82002A 'battery charger'/'AC adapter' for use with a HP 67.

I live in Australia, where the electrical mains power supply is 240 Volts and 50 Hertz.

Based on a photo I saw online, the HP 82002A has the following information inscribed on it:

(a) INPUT-VOLTS AC: Can choose (by way of a slider switch) between two ranges: '86 to 127' and '172 to 254'

(b) HERTZ: 48 to 66

(c) WATTS: 5

(d) The stipulation: "For use with HP calculators rated 0.8W Max."

Based on this information, I'm guessing that I should be able to safely and reliably use the HP 82002A with a HP 67 in Australia, by simply selecting '172 to 254' for the A/C input voltage (as well as, of course, using a US-to-AUS plug adapter).

Is this guess, correct?

Are there any problems or 'gotchas' that I'm overlooking?

If I can use the HP 82002A with a HP 67 here in Australia, it would sure beat having to resort to an AUS-to-US step-down voltage transformer in order to accommodate a US-only HP charger.

Thanks in advance, for any answers/advice.
