Check backside of that charger (BC-400) and you should se that it says 100-240V and 50-60Hz.
That means plug adapter or cord with your power plug in other end works.

input ac100-240v

50-60Hz 15-20VA

that's what it says!

so are you saying that i can just buy an adaptor?

Yes, or then cord with your plug in it.
Plug in cord's charger end seems to be standard model used in many other devices.
