On some mobile devices, a back
cover with an integrated coil or a
jacket may be required to use
inductive charging.
Protective cover for the mobile device
could have impact on the inductive
charging.
In the event that the mobile device is
not charging properly, rotate it 180°
and place it on the charging device
again.
Instruments and controls93Caution
