Different standards and voltages can all lead to confusion when planning to travel to another country especially for the first time traveller. This page is a useful guide showing how to supply power to the Beats Pill 2 when you're visiting Nauru using the standard 240 volt 50Hz I Type Nauruan power supply.

If you plan on travelling to a Nauruan city like Yaren or Denigomudu please read the wikipedia entry about Nauru [1] for more indepth information.
