A  portable  device,  such  as  a  smartphone  or  mobile  battery,  can  be
charged by just placing it on the charging area, provided the device is
compatible  with  the  Qi  wireless  charging  standard  created  by  the
Wireless Power Consortium.
The  wireless  charger  cannot  be  used  with  a  portable  device  that  is
larger than the charging area. Additionally, depending on the portable
device,  the  wireless  charger  may  not  operate  properly.  Refer  to  the
operation manual of the portable device.

: Compatible portable devices

and the wireless charger contain
charging coils. The charging coil
inside  the  wireless  charger  can
move within the area around the
center  of  the  charging  tray.
When the charging coil inside a
portable  device  is  detected
within  the  charging  area,  the
charging  coil  in  the  wireless
charger will move near the other
coil  and  charging  will  begin.  If
the charging coil inside the por-
table device is moved out of the
charging  area,  charging  will  be
stopped automatically.

Additionally, if 2 or more portable devices are placed on the charging
tray at the same time, each charging coil may not be detected correctly
and charging may not be possible.

Using the wireless charger

Press the power supply
switch of the wireless char-
ger.

Pressing  the  switch  again  turns
the wireless charger off.
When  turned  on,  the  operation
indicator light (green) comes on.
When the power switch is turned
off,  the  on/off  state  of  the  wire-
less charger will be memorized.
If  the  power  supply  switch  is  pressed  3  times  while  charging  is  being
performed, the rapid charging function will turn on. To turn the wireless
charger off, press the power supply switch when a portable device is not
being charged.

Place a portable device on
the charging tray.

Place  the  portable  device  so
that it is centered in the charging
area  with  its  charging  surface
facing  the  portable  charger.
Depending  on  the  portable
device, its charging coil may not
be in the center of the device. In
this  case,  place  the  portable
device so that its charging coil is
centered in the charging area.
While charging, the operation indicator light (orange) will be illuminated.
If  charging  does  not  begin,  move  the  portable  device  as  close  to  the
center of the charging area as possible.
When charging is complete, the operation indicator light (green) will illu-
minate.

Recharging function

●

If a certain amount of time has elapsed since charging completed
and the portable device has not been moved, the wireless char-
ger will restart charging.

●

If a portable device is moved significantly within the charging
area, the charging coil may disconnect and charging may tempo-
rarily be stopped. However, if a charging coil is detected within
the charging area, the charging coil inside the wireless charger
will move near the other coil and charging will resume.

The wireless charger can be operated when

The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.

■

Portable devices that can be charged

●

Portable devices compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard can be
charged by the wireless charger. However, compatibility with all devices
which meet the Qi wireless charging standard is not guaranteed.

●

The wireless charger is designed to supply low power electricity (5 W or
less) to a cellular phone, smartphone, or other portable device.

●

However, portable devices, such as the following, can be charged with more
than 5 W.
• 7.5 W charging compatible iPhones can be charged at 7.5 W or less.
• Portable devices which conform to WPC Ver 1.2.4 can be charged at 10

W or less.

■

Using the smart key system

During charging, when the smart key system searches for an electronic key,
charging may be temporarily suspended.

■

If a cover or accessory is attached to the portable device

Do not charge a portable device if a cover or accessory which is not Qi com-
patible is attached. Depending on the type of cover and/or accessory
attached, it may not be possible to charge the portable device. If the portable
device is placed on the charging area and does not charge, remove the cover
and/or accessories.

■

If interference is heard in AM radio broadcasts while charging

●

Turn off the wireless charger and check if the noise is reduced. If noise is
reduced, press and hold the power supply switch of the wireless charger for
2 seconds. The frequency of the wireless charger is changed and noise may
be reduced. When the frequency is changed, the operation indicator light
will blink (orange) 2 times.

●

Rapid charging for iPhones is performed using a specific radio wave fre-
quency.
Depending on the version of iOS installed, while the frequency is being
changed, rapid charging may not be performed.

■

Charging precautions

While charging, the wireless charger and the portable device will become
warm. This is not a malfunction.
If a portable device becomes warm while charging and charging stops due to
the protection function of the portable device, wait until the portable device
cools down and charge it again.
Also, to decrease the temperature inside the wireless charger, a fan may
operate. This does not indicate a malfunction.

NOTICE

■

To prevent failure or damage to data

●

Do not place magnetic cards, such as a credit card, or magnetic recording
media, close to the wireless charger while charging. Otherwise, data may
be erased due to the influence of magnetism.
Additionally, do not bring precision instruments such as wrist watches,
close to the wireless charger, as such objects may malfunction.

Do not perform charging with a contactless smart card, such as a credit
card, between the charging surface of a portable device and the charging
area. The IC chip in the card may become extremely hot, possibly damag-
ing the portable device or smart card.
Be extra careful to not charge a portable device with a case or cover which
a contactless smart card can be inserted.

●

Do not leave portable devices in the cabin. The temperature inside the
cabin may become high when parked in the sun, and cause damage to the
device.

■

When the OS of a smartphone has been updated

When the OS version of a smartphone has been changed, the charging
specifications may have changed. If the WPC compatibility version is
changed, the rapid charging function may no longer be able to be used. For
details, check for information on the website for the smartphone manufac-
turer.
