If the power supply is switchable between 110/120V and 220/240V you're OK
otherwise (unlikely) you'll need to buy a step-up transformer.

Depending on where you are in Europe you might also need to buy a converter from
the US-style (two-pin) to UK-style (three-pin) plug.

If you have a modem you might also require a converter, as the phone sockets may
be different.

A great site for all this is:
