A portable device, such as a smartphone or mobile battery, can be
charged by just placing it on th e charging area, provided the d evice is
compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard created by th e
Wireless Power Consortium.
The wireless charger cannot be used with a portable device that is
larger than the charging area. Additionally, depending on the p ortable

: 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 c harging
tray at the same time, each charging coil may not be detected correctly
and charging may not be possible.
