Uzbekistani power outlet

Differing region codes and plug types can all be confusing when planning to travel to a different country especially for the first time traveller. The following step by step instructions tells you exactly how to power the iPhone 4S when you are visiting Uzbekistan by using the standard Type I or C 220 volt 50Hz power outlets. You'll discover that most power sockets are different regionally so we recommend reading our Wikiconnections global power sockets guide where you'll find a complete list showing regions and countries. If visiting Uzbekistan from a different country check your iPhone 4S can accept a 240 volt supply. If the iPhone 4S originated in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110 volts) check that your device is dual-voltage (marked with 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional power converter to prevent the device from being damaged whilst powering it up. These instructions assume that you are running Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPhone 4S.
