Seychellois power outlet

Differing combinations of voltages and region codes can often cause confusion when planning to travel to another country if you've never been there before. This page was specifically written to prevent you needing to worry if you'll be able to charge the Jabra Solemate abroad.If travelling to Seychelles the following instructions show how to charge the Jabra Solemate by using the 240 volt 50Hz G Type Seychellois power outlet, the Seychellois will use a 13 amp plug for power outlets. If you are visiting Seychelles from a different region please double check your Jabra Solemate can be charged using a 240v supply. If your Jabra Solemate came from a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) make sure the device is dual voltage (marked with a 100-240 volt notation) else you may need to use an additional converter to prevent the device from overloading when powering up. If you intend on staying at a Seychellois city such as Victoria refer to the Seychellois Wikipedia web page [1] for further details.

Ensure you have download version 1.34 or greater of the latest Jabra Solemate firmware from the official Jabra Solemate support site [2]. After you have set up the speaker you can turn off the default 'Solemate is connected' announcements by holding down the Volume down button when turning on the Jabra Solemate until you hear 'Sound prompts off'.
