I am interested in purchasing the iH5 clock radio but as I live in Jamaica the electricity runs at 50Hz rather than the 60Hz in the USA. This has been a problem with some electrical appliances that I have bought (the clock on my oven loses 10 minutes every hour - not overly practical for a clock radio!). Will the iH5 work at both frequencies? I have been told that often on the power adaptor it will say something like "INPUT: AC 100V- 240V~ 1.0A 50 / 60 Hz" if it will work but I cannot see any technical information on the website that shows power information.
Can someone who has one have a look on the adaptor for me.
Thanks

Looking at my iHome power adapter it says:
Input: 120 VAC 60 Hz 24W

So unfortunately, it looks like it wouldn't work. Sorry.
