Differing voltages and standards can often be confusing when planning on travelling to a new country, especially to the first time traveller. The following guide tells you how to supply power to the Jabra Solemate Mini when going to Bosnia by using their standard Type F or C 230 volt 50Hz wall outlets. If you are travelling to Bosnia from a different country please double check the Jabra Solemate Mini can be charged using a 240v supply. If it was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110 volts double check your Jabra Solemate Mini is dual-voltage (marked with a 100-240 volt notation) otherwise you may need to use an additional transformer to prevent the device from overheating whilst powering it up.

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'.

When travelling to more than one country or bringing along more than your Jabra Solemate Mini the best international travel adapter for Bosnia to buy is a multiple USB adapter which includes swappable plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. Bosnians use two different types of power outlets (F and C) and bringing this will ensure that you are covered for type C. As these chargers are supplied with interchangeable plugs and handle 100 volts - 240 volts will mean that you can travel to multiple countries around the world simply by changing the heads over. If your type of Jabra Solemate Mini is compatible with Fast Charge (not all USB devices will) then you'll benefit from faster charging times with one of these types of travel adapters along with support for more power demanding devices like tablets.

This means you can power more than one device at once without needing to buy multiple power adapters or using up additional power sockets. Only bringing a single lightweight USB travel charger will help keep the overall weight and size down, making it perfect to store in hand baggage. Because of their space saving flexibility these types of power adapters can be used when back at home so when you’re not travelling they can be used under your bedside table charging multiple tablets, phones and e-readers with just a single wall outlet.

If you travel on a regular basis we suggest searching for this type of flexible power adapter at an electronics retailer. The multipurpose travel charger illustrated below is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been successfully tested with multiple USB devices in numerous different countries around the world on a daily basis.
