Various combinations of frequencies and region codes can often lead to confusion when planning on visiting a different country especially if you've never visited before. This step by step guide will show how to power your Jabra Solemate Mini when you're travelling to Tajikistan by using the F or C type Tajikistani 220 volt 50Hz wall outlets. When visiting Tajikistan from another country please check your Jabra Solemate Mini can be charged using a 240 volt supply. If it came from a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110 volts make sure your device is dual voltage (marked with a 100-240 volt notation) else you may need to use an additional transformer to avoid the device from being damaged whilst powering it.

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'.

What is the best travel adapter for the Jabra Solemate Mini in Tajikistan?

If you are travelling with more than just your Jabra Solemate Mini and visiting more than one country the best travel adapter for Tajikistan to buy is a multiple USB charger which includes compatible plugs such as a 4 port USB travel charger. Tajikistanis use two different standards of plug sockets (types F and C) and using a power adapter like this ensures that you are covered for type C.

As these chargers are supplied with interchangeable plugs and can handle from 100 - 240 volts will mean that you can travel to multiple countries around the world just by changing the plugs over. If your Jabra Solemate Mini is compatible with Fast Charge then you'll benefit from much faster recharging times with one of these USB travel chargers and additional compatibility with certain power demanding devices like tablets.

Unlike other chargers this means you can charge more than one device at the same time without needing to pack seperate travel adapters for your Tajikistani trip or occupying additional wall sockets. By only bringing a single international USB travel charger will keep the weight and size down, making it ideal to store in hand baggage whilst travelling as well as being on hand for charging your Jabra Solemate Mini at the airport or on a flight. Because of their flexibility these types of travel chargers can be used at home so when you’re not travelling they can sit overnight charging multiple phones and tablets without using up an additional wall outlet.

For those travelling frequently we suggest buying an adaptable power adapter of this nature online, the power adapter illustrated below is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been successfully tested for charging multiple USB devices in numerous different countries on a daily basis.
