Various region codes and plug types can all cause confusion when planning on staying in another country especially if you've never visited before. This page has instructions showing exactly how to charge your Beats Pill when you're visiting Belize using their G, A or B type 110 volt 60Hz power outlets. You'll discover most power sockets will vary depending on which country you visiting therefore we suggest that you read our Wiki Connections world power supplies list where you'll find a complete list of powering devices in different destinations. If your Beats Pill does not power up or charges slowly when visiting Belize from a different region check that it is compatible with a 110 volt power supply. Devices which come from another country which use a higher voltage (for example 240 volts) sometimes take longer to charge or won't turn on, check that the Beats Pill is a dual voltage device (normally marked with a 100-240 volt notation) otherwise you may need to use an additional voltage converter to ensure proper use.

The following list of instructions show you how to connect to Beats Pill 2 speakers to the Belizean power outlet. Please note that this page refers to the Beats Pill 2 and not the original Beats Pill first generation, visit the Beats page for the full range of Beats bluetooth speakers. Before connecting Beats Pill 2 speakers to anything we recommend downloading the latest Beats Pill 2 firmware from the official Beats Pill support site [2] using the Beats updater tool.
