Complicated combinations of frequencies and standards can all be confusing when planning on travelling to a new country if you've never been there before. This page was specifically written to prevent you having to worry if you'll be able to charge your iPad 2 when you are travelling to Mauritania.When you are planning a vacation to Mauritania the following instructions show how to charge the iPad 2 using the standard 220 volt 50Hz C Type wall outlet, with the Mauritanians using Europlugs for power outlets. You will find power sockets are different depending on which country you are travelling to therefore we recommend reading the Africa page for a full list of countries. If you are visiting Mauritania from another region please make sure that your iPad 2 can accept a 240 volt supply. If it originated in a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110 volts double check your iPad 2 is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional power converter to avoid the device from overheating whilst powering it up. If you intend on travelling to a Mauritanian destination such as Nouakchott or Kiffa please read the Mauritanian Wikipedia web page [1] for more indepth details. These instructions assume that you are running Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPad 2.
