Operation
Using the Qi Charging Pad
Place your Qi-compatible device on the charging area. The Qi LED will turn solid green when charging. If a connection fails, the Qi LED will flash red and green. If no Qi device is detected, the LED will remain off.
Note: Avoid prolonged placement of non-Qi devices, metallic objects, magnetic objects, or credit cards on the pad. Thick cases may interfere with charging. Turn off vibration during charging if your phone shifts. Qi charging may not engage if the device is also connected via USB. Devices may get warm during charging; some phones limit charging to 80% if too warm. Charge in a cool location for optimal times.
