Hello,

I have a SIP phone but I always forget the power supply somewhere and it turns out it's very, very far away. I need to supply 5V and I have a 6V adapter. Could the 6V damage the phone?

Thanks in advance!

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 4.0.1

    Hmm... let's say that the device is not designed for 6V.

    Using it at 6V for a VERY short time might work, as the potential difference is only slightly high... but it's honestly a complete hack, and it will still significantly degrade your device...

    Also, if it's a cheap phone, forget it right away, because there are HUGE risks.

    Keep in mind that you should stay very close to the device, just in case...

    I still advise against this hack.
