Kansai / Kanto voltage 2007/10/7 20:06
I moved from Kansai to Kanto area. My alarm clock worked fine but in Kanto it's around 4 minutes slow per hour.

Anything I can do to remedy this? I think it's the voltage difference. I put a battery in but no luck. Help please!

The electricity's voltage is the same, but the frequency is slightly different. But I doubt that this is the reason for the problem. Maybe it got damaged when you were moving.

Frequency difference 2007/10/8 09:41
Cheeze,

Electrical devices with internal clocks or timers often work differently in eastern and western Japan because of the mains frequency difference, although applicances often have a 50/60Hz selector switch these days. But since you say the problem continued even when using batteries, it does appear that this may not have been the cause.
