Varying different voltages and plugs can all lead to confusion when planning to stay in another country if you've never been there before. When planning a vacation to Qatar these instructions show charging the Jabra Solemate Mini using the Type G or D Qatari 240 volt 50Hz power outlets, you'll discover a majority of Qataris use the Type G sockets in their wall outlets. You will find power will change from country to country so we suggest reading the power supplies and Asia page for a full list of countries. When you are travelling to Qatar from another country make sure the Jabra Solemate Mini can be used with a 240 volt supply. If it originated in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) check that the device is dual voltage (marked with 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional power converter to avoid the device from overheating during charging.

Ensure you have version 1.14 or greater of the Jabra Solemate Mini firmware, visit the official Jabra Solemate Mini support site [2] to download the latest version. You can switch off the default 'Connected' and other announcements by holding down the Volume down button when turning on the Jabra Solemate Mini until you hear 'Sound prompts off'.
