Wireless Charging Pad Operation
To use the wireless charging pad, the coil in your mobile
phone needs to align with the coil in the charging pad,
which is located directly under the Qi logo. Since each
mobile phone’s coil location is different, you may need a
few attempts to locate the correct spot for your mobile
phone:
1. Place your mobile phone on the wireless charging pad,towards the Qi logo, so that the LED turns red. If the
LED does not turn red, pick up the mobile phone and
change the location.
2. Once the LED transitions from red to flashing green, your mobile phone is correctly placed and charging. NOTE:
The mobile phone mustbe aligned around the Qi
logo for the LED to transition from red to flashing green.
3. If the LED does not transition from red to flashing green, and just turns off, pick up your mobile phone
and reposition it on the charging pad.

once as long as only one mobile phone is used. If a
different mobile phone is used, the cradle will need to be
readjusted.
The LED indicator will flash green while the mobile
phone is charging. The Qi enabled phone is able to
function normally as it is charging.

Do not place metal object(s) between the mobile
phone and wireless charging pad. Metal object(s)
such as coins, rings or keys will become very HOT.

bile phone and wireless charging pad, carefully
