Various voltages and standards can often be confusing when planning to travel to another country, especially for the first time traveller. This guide shows how to power the Jabra Solemate Mini when staying in Niger using their D, A, B, C, E or F type 220 volt 50Hz plug outlets. When you are visiting Niger from a different region please ensure that the Jabra Solemate Mini can be charged using a 240 volt supply. If it was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) check your device 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 over-heating whilst powering it up.

Ensure you have version 1.14 or greater of the Jabra Solemate Mini firmware, visit the official Jabra Solemate Mini support site [2] to download the latest version. You can switch off the default 'Connected' and other announcements by holding down the Volume down button when turning on the Jabra Solemate Mini until you hear 'Sound prompts off'.

What is the best travel adapter for recharging the Jabra Solemate Mini in Niger?

When you are travelling with more than your Jabra Solemate Mini then the best international travel charger for Niger is a multiple USB charger which includes swappable plugs such as a 4 port USB travel charger. Nigeriens use six different standards of wall outlets (D, A, B, C, E and F) and using a travel charger like this ensures that you are covered for both types A and C.

As these types of chargers come with interchangeable plugs and can handle 100 - 240 volts it makes them ideal for multiple countries in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa just by changing the supplied heads. If your Jabra Solemate Mini is compatible with Fast Charge (note not all USB devices do) then you'll benefit from much faster recharging times with one of these power chargers and additional compatibility with more power hungry devices like tablets.

Unlike other chargers having a four port charger will also allow you to charge multiple devices at once without needing to pack seperate power chargers on your trip to Niger. Because you are only bringing a single lightweight USB travel charger will also keep the overall size and weight down, making it ideal to store in hand baggage as well as being convenient for recharging your Jabra Solemate Mini at the airport or on the plane. Due to their flexibility these types of adapters can be used when you return home as well as abroad so when you’re not travelling they can sit under your bedside table charging multiple phones, tablets and speakers without using up an additional wall outlet.

We suggest buying a versatile travel adapter like this at an electronics retailer. The multipurpose travel adapter illustrated below is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been tested successfully with multiple USB devices in numerous countries.
