Varying different combinations of standards and plugs can all cause confusion when planning on visiting another country especially if you've never visited before. If you are going to travel to Guadeloupe these useful instructions show how to supply power to your Jabra Solemate Mini using their D, C or E type 230 volt 50Hz power outlets. When you are visiting Guadeloupe from a different country check your Jabra Solemate Mini can be used with a 240v supply. If it was purchased from a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110v make sure that the Jabra Solemate Mini is dual voltage (marked with a 100-240 volt notation) otherwise you may need to use an additional power converter to prevent the device from being damaged during charging.
