WIRELESS ACCESSORY CHARGER PRECAUTIONS

WARNING   WARNING:  Wireless charging devices can affect the operation of implanted medical devices, including cardiac pacemakers. If you have any implanted medical devices, we recommend that you consult with your physician.
WARNING   WARNING:  Remove all metal objects like coins and keys from the charging surface and remove any metal objects attached to your mobile phone before placing the device on the charging surface. Some mobile devices or cases may attract metal objects. Metal objects on the charging surface or attached to the phone may become hot while charging is active. If an object is left on or near the charging surface or attached to the phone while the device is charging, let the objects cool before removing to prevent personal injury.

 

Keep the charging area clean and remove foreign objects prior to charging a device.

Do not place items with a magnetic strip or radio-frequency identification chip, for example passports, parking tickets, transportation passes or credit cards, near the charging area when charging a device. Damage could occur to the magnetic strip or radio-frequency identification chip.

Do not place metal objects, for example remote controls, coins and candy wrappers, on or near the charging area when charging a device. Metal objects may heat up and degrade the charging performance, in addition to causing interruptions in charging.

Charging could be interrupted, degraded, or could stop if any of the following occur:

  • The system detects a foreign object.
  • The device is misaligned on the charging area.
  • The device moves on the active charging area when the vehicle is in motion.
  • The vehicle ambient temperature is too high.
  • You attempt to charge a non-Qi compatible device on the wireless charger.

Note:   During charging, the device and the charger could heat up, this is normal. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the device may stop charging.
