Varying different standards and voltages can all lead to confusion when planning to travel to a new country especially for the first time traveller. This page is a useful guide showing how to supply power to the Jabra Solemate when you're travelling to El Salvador using the types B or A 115 volt 60Hz wall outlets. If your Jabra Solemate slowly recharges or doesn't turn on when travelling to El Salvador from a different country then check that it is compatible with a 110 volt power supply. Devices which originated from a different country which use a higher voltage (for example 220 volts) either take longer to charge or won't turn on, so check the device is a dual voltage device (you'll find these are usually marked with 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional converter to ensure proper use.

Ensure you have download version 1.34 or greater of the latest Jabra Solemate firmware from the official Jabra Solemate support site [2]. After you have set up the speaker you can turn off the default 'Solemate is connected' announcements by holding down the Volume down button when turning on the Jabra Solemate until you hear 'Sound prompts off'.
