Varying complicated voltages and region codes can often lead to confusion when planning on visiting a different country, especially if you've never visited before. With only a handful of different types of plug sockets being used in the world this guide tells you exactly what to buy in advance to charge the iPad Mini 2 . If visiting Guyana this page contains useful instructions showing you how to supply power to your iPad Mini 2 by using the Type G, A, B or D Guyanese 220 volt 60Hz plug outlets. Most power sockets will change regionally therefore please read our Wiki Connections travel power connections page where you'll find a full list showing powering devices in different countries. When you are visiting Guyana from another region please check that your iPad Mini 2 can accept a 240 volt supply.
