Anguillan power outlet

Various voltages and standards can often be confusing when planning to visit another country, especially for the first time traveller. If you're travelling to Anguilla these useful instructions show powering your iPad 3 using a standard 110 volt 60Hz Type A Anguillan wall outlet, with the Anguillans using NEMA 1-15 ungrounded plugs for wall outlets. If your iPad 3 charges slowly or does not power up when travelling to Anguilla from another region please 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) can take longer to charge or won't power up, so check that the iPad 3 is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional converter to ensure proper use. If you are planning on travelling to a city such as North Side or The Valley we also recommend reading the Anguilla Wikipedia web page [1] for more indepth details prior to travelling to the area. These instructions assume you are running Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPad 3.
