: Portable devices and wireless

chargers contain charging coils.
The charging coil in the wireless
charger can be moved within the
charge area near the center of
the charging tray. If the charging
coil inside a portable device is
detected in the charge area, the
charging coil inside the wireless
charger will move toward it and
start charging. If the charging coil
inside a portable device moves
outside of the charge area,
charging will automatically stop.
If 2 or more portable devices are
placed on the charging tray, their
charging coils may not be prop-
erly detected and they may not
be charged.

■

Using the wireless charger

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

Switches on and off with each

press of the power supply switch.
When turned on, the operation indi-

cator light (green) comes on.
Even with the hybrid system off, the

on/off state of the power supply

switch is memorized.

Place the portable device on
the charging tray

Place the charging side of the por-

table device down with the center of

the device in the center of the

charge area.
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.
When charging, the operation indi-

cator light (orange) comes on.
If charging is not occurring, try plac-

ing the portable device as close to

the center of the charging area as

possible.
If charging is not performed, the

operation indicator light will slowly

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

The following portable
devices support rapid
charging.

• Portable devices compliant with

WPC Ver1.2.4 and compatible
with rapid charging

• iPhone’s with an iOS version that

supports 7.5 W charging (iPhone
8 and later models)

Usable portable devices

●

Qi standard wireless charge stan-

dard can be used on compatible

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.

■

Using the smart key system

If the smart key system detects the

key while a device is being charged,

charging will be temporarily

stopped.

■

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-

ine manufacture parts) and acces-

sory, it may not be possible to

charge. When charging is not per-

formed even with the portable

device placed on the charge area,

remove the cover and accessories.

■

While charging, noise enters

the AM radio

●

Turn off the wireless charger and

confirm that the noise has

decreased. If the noise

decreases, continuously pushing

the power supply switch of the

wireless charger for 2 seconds,

the frequency of the charger can

be changed and the noise can be

reduced. Also, on that occasion,

the operation indicator light will

flash orange 2 times.

●

iPhone’s use a particular fre-

quency for rapid charging.

Depending on the iOS version,

rapid charging may not be per-

formed while switching frequen-

cies.

Important points of the wireless

charger

●

If the electronic key cannot be

detected within the vehicle inte-

When charging, the wireless

charging device and portable

device will get warmer, however

this is not a malfunction.

When a portable device gets

warm while charging, charging

may stop due to the protection

function on the portable device

side. In this case, when the tem-
