Complicated voltages and sockets can all be daunting when planning to stay in a different country if you've never visited before. When you're going to Puerto Rico these useful instructions show how to supply power to your Jabra Solemate Mini using their B or A type 120 volt 60Hz plug outlets, Type B power outlets are used by most Puerto Ricans. If the Jabra Solemate Mini slowly recharges or doesn't turn on when you are visiting Puerto Rico from a different country check that it is compatible with a 110 volt power supply. Devices which come from another country which use a higher voltage (for example 220 volts) either take longer to charge or won't power up, so check that the Jabra Solemate Mini is a dual voltage device (usually marked with 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional converter to ensure proper use. If you plan on staying in a destination like San Juan or Ponce we suggest referring to the Wikipedia entry about Puerto Rico [1] for further information on visiting the area.

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'.
