If you are visiting Armenia from another country ensure your Jabra Solemate can accept a 240 volt supply. If your Jabra Solemate was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110 volts check the device is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional power transformer to avoid the device from over-heating when powering up.
