*: Portable devices and wireless chargers contain charging coils.
The charging coil in the wireless
charger can be m oved within the
charge area near the center of
the charging tray. If the charging
coil inside a portable device is
detected in the charge area, the
charging coil in side the wireless
charger will move t oward it and
start charging. If the charging coil
inside a portable device moves
outside of the charge area,
charging will automatically stop.
If 2 or more porta ble devices are
placed on the charging tray, their
charging coils may not be prop-
erly detected and they may not
be charged.
■Using the wireless charger
1 Press the power supply
switch of the wireless char-
ger.
Switches on and off with each

table device down with the center of
the device in the center of the
charge area.
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.
When charging, the operation indi-
cator light (orange) comes on.
If charging is not occurring, try plac-
ing the portable device as close to
the center of the charging area as

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
 The following portable
devices support rapid
charging.
• Portable devices compliant with
WPC Ver1.2.4 and compatible

■Usable portable devices
●Qi standard wireless charge stan-
dard can be used on compatible
devices. However, not all Qi stan-
dard devices and compatibility are
guaranteed.
●Starting with mobile phones and
smartphones, it is aimed for low
power electrically supplied porta-
ble devices of no more than 5W.
●However, charging exceeding 5 W
is supported by the following por-
table devices.
• Charging at 7.5 W or less is sup- ported by iPhone’s that support
7.5 W charging.
• Charging at 10 W or less is sup- ported by portable devices compli-
ant with EPP output as defined by
WPC standard Ver1.2.4.
■Using the smart key system
If the smart key system detects the
key while a device is being charged,
charging will be temporarily
stopped.
■When 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 porta-
ble device. Depending on the type
of cover (including the certain genu-
ine manufacture
parts) and acces-
sory, it may not be possible to
charge. When charging is not per-
formed even with the portable
device placed on the charge area,
remove the cover and accessories.
■While charging, noise enters
the AM radio
●Turn off the wireless charger and
confirm that the noise has
decreased. If the noise
decreases, continuously pushing
the power supply switch of the
wireless charger for 2 seconds,
the frequency of the charger can
be changed and the noise can be
reduced. Also, on that occasion,
the operation indicator light will
flash orange 2 times.
●iPhone’s use a particular fre-
quency for rapid charging.
Depending on the iOS version,
rapid charging may not be per-
formed while switching frequen-
cies.
■Important points of the wireless
charger
●If the electronic key cannot be
detected within the vehicle inte-
rior, charging c annot be done.
When the door is opened and
closed, charging may be tempo-
rarily suspended.
●When charging, the wireless
charging device and portable
device will get warmer, however
this is not a malfunction.
When a portable device gets
warm while char ging, charging
may stop due to the protection
function on the portable device
side. In this case, when the tem-
perature of the portable device
drops significantly, charge again.
The fan may start operating to lower
