devices. However, not all Qi stan-

dard devices and compatibility are

guaranteed.

●

Starting with mobile phones and

smartphones, it is aimed for low

power electrically supplied porta-

ble devices of no more than 5W.

●

However, charging exceeding 5 W

is supported by the following por-

table devices.

• Charging at 7.5 W or less is sup-

ported by iPhone’s that support

7.5 W charging.

• Charging at 10 W or less is sup-

ported by portable devices compli-

ant with EPP output as defined by

WPC standard Ver1.2.4.

When covers and accessories

are attached to portable devices

Do not charge in situations where

cover and accessories not able to

handle Qi are attached to the porta-

ble device. Depending on the type

of cover (including the certain genu-
