You'll probably be fine, but as I mentioned in my other reply the DR is a little more picky about the V and mA that the wall charger is putting out. It's possible to have one which works OK with some devices, but causes some weird problems with the DR. If you run into issues, the best thing to do is try using a USB cable attached to a PC/Mac. Those tend to be more standardized as far as the power output.

Fortunately, my USB charger seems to work just fine with the DR.

What brand is it, if you know? At some point it would be nice to start keeping a list of which chargers work with the DR and which are known to have problems.

There's a very popular UK "gadget" site called "Expansys" (http://www.expansys.com), where I buy most of my "bits and pieces". It's one of their "own brand" ones. It was a decent one, though, not one of the very cheap ones you sometimes see advertised. There's no brand name on the actual charger - it just says "Made in China" on it.

For the charger part, since I have a AC charger for my ipod,
the top left one in the pic http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-AC-WALL-USB-...3%3A1|294%3A50 I use it for the DR 1000S also. So far it is charging my ereader alright. I am not sure if it will hurt my device in the long run or not? |

I'd bet that if you hooked it up to the PC instead of the wall charger, you won't have that same problem with the sensors. |

What are the specifications of your chargers? I'm using a Garmin (it came with a forerunner gps) - it doesn't seem to make any complications with DR.
Model: PSC03R-050 Input: 100-240V ~0.2A 50-60Hz Output: 5v 500mA MAX Let's make a list of chargers that work properly with DR and those that don't |
