*
*: 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 wirel ess charger will
move near the other coil and
charging will begin. If the
charging coil inside the portable
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 t he same time,
each charging coil may not be
detected correctly and charging
may not be possible.
■Using the wireless charger
1 Press the power supply
switch of the wireless char-
ger.
Pressing the switch again turns the
wireless charger off.
When turned on, the operation indi-
cator light (green) comes on.
When the engine switch is turned
off, the on/off state of the wireless
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 swit ch when a porta-

2Place 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 indi-
cator light (orang e) will be illumi-
nated.
If charging does not begin, move
the portable device as close to the
center of the charging area as pos-
sible.
If charging is not performed, the
operation indicator light will slowly
illuminate in gr een and orange
alternatively and a sound of
charging coil operation may be
heard repeatedly.
When charging is complete, the

elapsed since charging com-
pleted and the portable device
has not been moved, the
wireless charger will restart
charging.
 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.
■Rapid charging function
 Portable devices, such as the
following, can be rapidly
charged.
• Rapid charging capable devices
which conform to WPC Ver 1.2.4.

rarily 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
compatible is attached. Depending
on the type of cover (including the
certain genuine manufacture parts)
and/or accessory attached, it may
not be possible to charge the porta-

formed using a specific radio
wave frequency.
Depending on the version of iOS
installed, while th e 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, wai t until the porta-
ble device cools down and charge it
again.
