Varying different frequencies and standards can all lead to confusion when planning on travelling to another country especially if you've never been there before. This page contains step-by-step instructions showing what you'll need to power your iPhone 4S when you are in Azerbaijan using their standard F or C type 230 volt 50Hz wall outlets. If travelling to Azerbaijan from a different country please make sure your iPhone 4S can be charged using a 240 volt supply. If your iPhone 4S was purchased from a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) ensure that your device is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional power converter to stop the device from over-heating whilst powering it. These instructions assume you are running Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPhone 4S.
