Varying different combinations of region codes and plugs can often be confusing when planning to travel to a different country if you've never visited before. If you're visiting Montenegro the following instructions show charging your iPhone 6 Plus using their Type F or C Montenegrin 230 volt 50Hz wall outlets. When you are visiting Montenegro from a different country check your iPhone 6 Plus can be used with a 240v supply. If it came from a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110 volts) make sure the iPhone 6 Plus is dual voltage (marked with a 100-240 volt notation) otherwise you may need to use an additional power converter to prevent the device from being damaged whilst powering it. If you intend on travelling to a city such as Podgorica or NikÅ¡ic we suggest referring to the Montenegrin Wiki page [1] for further information on travelling to the area. These instructions assume you are running Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPhone 6 Plus.
