Bruneian power outlet

Varying complicated combinations of standards and voltages can all be confusing when planning on staying in a foreign country, especially to the first time traveller. If you're visiting Brunei these useful instructions show how to power your iPad Air 2 by using their 240 volt 50Hz Type G plug outlet, with the Bruneians using 13 amp plugs for power outlets. If you are travelling to Brunei from a different country please check that your iPad Air 2 can be charged using a 240v supply. If your iPad Air 2 was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage such as 120v ensure that your device is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional power converter to stop the device from overloading during charging. These instructions assume that you've have installed Apple iOS 7 or greater on an iPad Air 2.
