Herzegovinian power outlet

Complicated combinations of region codes and plugs can often be daunting when planning to travel to a new country especially for the first time traveller. With only a handful of different types of plug sockets used throughout the world this guide shows exactly what you'll need to pick up in advance to charge your iPad Mini 2 . This page contains instructions demonstrating what you'll need to power your iPad Mini 2 when staying in Herzegovina using the Type F or C Herzegovinian 230 volt 50Hz power outlets. Power sockets will vary depending on which country you are travelling to so we suggest reading the travel power supplies page for a complete list of regions and countries. If you are visiting Herzegovina from another country ensure your iPad Mini 2 can accept a 240 volt supply. If your iPad Mini 2 was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110 volts) ensure your iPad Mini 2 is dual-voltage (marked with 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional converter to prevent the device from overheating whilst powering it. These instructions assume you are running Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPad Mini 2.
