Anguillan power outlet

Varying complicated combinations of region codes and plug types can all be daunting when planning on staying in a foreign country especially if you've never visited before. With only a handful of different types of sockets being used in the world this guide tells you exactly what to purchase in advance to charge the Beats Pill . This page was specifically written to prevent you having to worry if you'll be able to charge your Beats Pill when you are travelling to Anguilla.When you are planning a vacation to Anguilla the following useful instructions show how to supply power to the Beats Pill using a standard 110 volt 60Hz A Type plug outlet, with the Anguillans using NEMA 1-15 ungrounded plugs for wall outlets. If your Beats Pill does not power up or charges slowly when you are visiting Anguilla from another region then check that it is compatible with a 110 volt power supply. Normally electrical devices which come from a different country which use a higher voltage such as 220 volts can take longer to charge or won't turn on, so check that your device is a dual voltage device (usually indicated by 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional power converter to ensure proper use. If you plan on visiting an Anguillan place such as North Side or The Valley we recommend reading the Anguilla Wikipedia web page [1] for more indepth information on travelling to the location.

The following list of instructions show you how to connect to Beats Pill 2 speakers to the Anguillan power outlet. Note that these instructions refer to the Beats Pill 2 and not the original Beats Pill first generation, visit the Beats page for the full range of Beats bluetooth speakers. Before connecting Beats Pill 2 speakers to any device we recommend downloading the latest Beats Pill 2 firmware from the official Beats Pill support site [2] using the Beats updater tool.
