Libyan power outlet

Various standards and plugs can all be confusing when planning to travel to another country to the first time traveller. This page contains step by step instructions which shows exactly what you'll need to charge the Beats Pill 2 when you are in Libya using their standard Type D, C, F or L 127 volt 50Hz plug outlets. Most power sources will vary depending on which area you taking a trip to so we recommend that you read the Wikiconnections global power sockets page where you'll find a complete list showing charging devices in different regions. If the Beats Pill 2 slowly recharges or doesn't turn on when visiting Libya from another country please check that it is compatible with a 110 volt power supply. Devices which originated from a country which use a higher voltage (for example 240 volts) sometimes take longer to charge or won't power up, so check your Beats Pill 2 is dual voltage (marked with 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional power transformer to ensure proper use. However please be aware that Barca, Benghazi, Derna, Sabha and Tobruk will use a 230 volt power outlet instead of 110 volts.

This list of instructions show you how to connect to Beats Pill 2.0 speakers to your Libyan power outlet. Please note that this page refers to the Beats Pill 2.0 and not the original Beats Pill first generation, please visit the Beats page on WikiConnections.org for the full range of Beats bluetooth speakers. Before you connect Beats Pill 2.0 speakers to any device we recommend downloading the latest Beats Pill 2.0 firmware update from the official Beats Pill support site [2] using the Beats updater tool.
