Varying complicated combinations of region codes and plug types can often be daunting when planning on staying in a different country, especially if you've never visited before. If you are staying in Dominica these instructions show how to power your Samsung Galaxy S4 by using the Type G or D Dominicand 230 volt 50Hz plug outlets, a majority of Dominicansd typically use the Type G sockets in their wall outlets. You will discover that power sockets will vary depending on which area you are visiting therefore we suggest reading the World power supplies page for a full list of countries. If you are visiting Dominica from another region please check that your Samsung Galaxy S4 can be charged using a 240 volt supply. If it originated in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110 volts) check your Samsung Galaxy S4 is dual-voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional power converter to stop the device from overheating during charging.

Refer to the Samsung Galaxy S4 instruction manual [2] for further details on the operation of the mobile phone and visit the Galaxy page for more phones in the Samsung Galaxy range which can connect to the Dominicand power outlet.
