trically supplied portable devices of no more than 5W.
QWhen covers and accessories are attached to portable devices
Do not charge in situations where cover and accessories not able to handle
Qi are attached to the portable device. Depending on the type of cover and
accessory, it may not be possible to charge. When charging is not performed
even with the portable device placed on the charge area, remove the cover
and accessories.
QWhile charging, noise enters the AM radio
Turn off the wireless charger and confirm that the noise has decreased. If the

warmer, however this is not a malfunction.
When a portable device gets warm while charging, charging may stop due
to the protection function on the portable device side. In this case, when the
temperature of the portable device drops significantly, charge again.
QOperation sounds
When the power supply is turned on, while searching for the portable device a
sound will be produced, however this is not a malfunction.
