Charging the Jabra Solemate from a power outlet in Brunei
How to connect a Bruneian power outlet to the Jabra Solemate
Various combinations of region codes and plugs can often be daunting when planning to visit a new country, especially to the first time traveller. When you are visiting Brunei this page has instructions showing you charging the Jabra Solemate by using a 240 volt 50Hz Type G wall outlet, the Bruneians will use a 13 amp plug for power outlets. You will discover that power sockets change depending on which country you are travelling to so please read the power supplies and Asia page for a full list of countries. When travelling to Brunei from a different country please make sure that your Jabra Solemate can be charged using a 240v supply. If it came from a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110 volts) double check the device is dual voltage (marked with 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional voltage converter to stop the device from being damaged when charging it.
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'.
