the wireless charging system rises
above a set temperature, the wire-
less charging will cease to func-
tion. After the internal tempera-
ture drops below the threshold,
the wireless charging function will
resume.
• If there is any metallic object between the smart phone and the
wireless charging pad, immediate-
ly remove the smart phone.
Remove the metallic object after it
has completely cooled down.
• The wireless charging may not function properly when there is a
heavy accessory cover on the
smart phone.

turers may display messages on
weak current. This is due to the
particular characteristic of the
smart phone and does not imply a
malfunction of the wireless charg-
ing system.
