Guadeloupe power outlet

Complicated combinations of region codes and voltages can all lead to confusion when planning to travel to a new country, especially if you've never been there before. With only a handful of different types of plug sockets used throughout the world this guide tells you exactly what to pick up in advance to power your iPad Mini 4 . This page contains instructions telling you how to supply power to the iPad Mini 4 when you're visiting Guadeloupe using the standard Type D, C or E Guadeloupe 230 volt 50Hz plug outlets. When visiting Guadeloupe from a different region please check that the iPad Mini 4 can accept a 240 volt supply. If it came from a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110v make sure your iPad Mini 4 is dual-voltage (marked with 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional voltage converter to stop the device from being damaged when powering up. These instructions assume you are running Apple iOS 9 or greater on the iPad Mini 4.
