Different combinations of voltages and standards can all be confusing when planning on visiting a new country if you've never been there before. This page contains step-by-step instructions showing exactly what you'll need to charge the iPhone 6 Plus when you are visiting The Isle of Man using their standard 240 volt 50Hz Type G plug outlet, with the Manx using a 13 amp plug for wall outlets. If travelling to The Isle of Man from a different country ensure that the iPhone 6 Plus can be used with a 240v supply. If the iPhone 6 Plus was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110v ensure that the 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 when powering up.
