These guidelines were specifically written to prepare people wanting to charge the iPad Mini 4 when staying in Myanmar.If planning a trip to Myanmar this page contains instructions showing you charging the iPad Mini 4 using the Type G, C, D or F Myanmar 230 volt 50Hz power outlets. Most power will change depending on which region you are in so we suggest reading the power supplies and Asia page for a full list of countries. When visiting Myanmar from another region ensure that your iPad Mini 4 can accept a 240 volt supply. If your iPad Mini 4 came from a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) ensure that your device is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional voltage converter to stop the device from being damaged whilst powering it up.
