Anguillan power outlet

Varying different combinations of region codes and plugs can often be daunting when planning on visiting another country, especially for the first time traveller. If you are going to travel to Anguilla the following instructions show charging your iPad Mini 4 using a standard 110 volt 60Hz Type A Anguillan wall outlet, with the Anguillans using a NEMA 1-15 ungrounded plug for power outlets. Power sources differ regionally so we suggest that you read our Wikiconnections world power supplies page for a complete list of powering devices in different destinations. If your iPad Mini 4 does not power up or charges slowly when you are travelling to Anguilla 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) can take longer to charge or won't power up, so check that the iPad Mini 4 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 to visit an Anguillan destination like North Side we also suggest referring to the Anguilla country entry on wikipedia.org [1] for more indepth details prior to the location. These instructions assume you are running Apple iOS 9 or greater on the iPad Mini 4.
