Wireless charger (if equipped)

A portable device, such as a smartphone or mobile battery, can be charged by just placing it on the charging area, provided the device is compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard created by the Wireless Power Consortium.

The wireless charger cannot be used with a portable device that is larger than the charging area.

Additionally, depending on the portable device, the wireless charger may not operate properly.

Refer to the operation manual of the portable device.

■ The "Qi" logo

The "Qi" logo is a trademark of the Wireless Power Consortium.

■ Name for all parts

1. Power supply switch
2. Operation indicator light
3. Charging tray
4. Charge area*

*: Compatible portable devices and the wireless charger contain charging coils. The charging coil inside the wireless charger can move within the area around the center of the charging tray.

When the charging coil inside a portable device is detected within the charging area, the charging coil in the wireless charger will move near the other coil and charging will begin. If the charging coil inside the portable device is moved out of the charging area, charging will be stopped automatically.

Additionally, if 2 or more portable devices are placed on the charging tray at the same time, each charging coil may not be detected correctly and charging may not be possible.

■ Using the wireless charger

1. Press the power supply switch of the wireless charger.

Pressing the switch again turns the wireless charger off.

When turned on, the operation indicator light (green) comes on.

When the engine switch is turned off, the on/off state of the wireless charger will be memorized.

If the power supply switch is pressed 3 times while charging is being performed, the rapid charging function will turn on. To turn the wireless charger off, press the power supply switch when a portable device is not being charged.

2. Place a portable device on the charging tray.

Place the portable device so that it is centered in the charging area with its charging surface facing the portable charger.

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.

While charging, the operation indicator light (orange) will be illuminated.

If charging does not begin, move the portable device as close to the center of the charging area as possible.

If charging is not performed, the operation indicator light will slowly illuminate in green and orange alternatively and a sound of charging coil operation may be heard repeatedly.

When charging is complete, the operation indicator light (green) will illuminate.

■ Recharging function

• If a certain amount of time has elapsed since charging completed and the portable device has not been moved, the wireless charger will restart charging.
• If a portable device is moved significantly within the charging area, the charging 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 wireless charger will move near the other coil and charging will resume.

■ Rapid charging function

• Portable devices, such as the following, can be rapidly charged.
  • Rapid charging capable devices which conform to WPC Ver 1.2.4.
  • 7.5 W charging capable iPhones (iPhone 8 and later)
• To turn the rapid charging function on, press the power supply switch 3 times while charging is being performed.

  If rapid charging is possible, the operation indicator will change from illuminated (orange) to alternating between (green) and (orange).

• When charging is finished, the rapid charging function will turn off. To perform rapid charging again, turn the rapid charging function back on.

■ Operation indicator light status

*1: While in standby, charging power is not output. If a metal object is placed on the charging tray in this state, the object will not heat up.
*2: Depending on the portable device, the operation indicator light may stay illuminated (orange) after charging has completed.

• If the operation indicator light blinks

If an error is detected, the operation indicator light will blink (orange). Take the appropriate measures according to the table below.

■The wireless charger can be operated when

The engine switch is in ACC or ON.

■Portable devices that can be charged

• Portable devices compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard can be charged by the wireless charger. However, compatibility with all devices which meet the Qi wireless charging standard is not guaranteed.
• The wireless charger is designed to supply low power electricity (5 W or less) to a cellular phone, smartphone, or other portable device.
• However, portable devices, such as the following, can be charged with more than 5 W.
  • 7.5 W charging compatible iPhones can be charged at 7.5 W or less.
  • Portable devices compliant with EPP output as defined by WPC standard Ver1.2.4. can be charged at 10 W or less.

■Using the smart key system

During charging, when the smart key system searches for an electronic key, charging may be temporarily suspended.

■If a cover or accessory is attached to the portable device

Do not charge a portable device if a cover or accessory which is not Qi compatible is attached. Depending on the type of cover (including the certain genuine manufacture parts) and/or accessory attached, it may not be possible to charge the portable device. If the portable device is placed on the charging area and does not charge, remove the cover and/or accessories.

■If interference is heard in AM radio broadcasts while charging

• Turn off the wireless charger and check if the noise is reduced. If noise is reduced, press and hold the power supply switch of the wireless charger for 2 seconds.

  The frequency of the wireless charger is changed and noise may be reduced. When the frequency is changed, the operation indicator light will blink (orange) 2 times.

• Rapid charging for iPhones is performed using a specific radio wave frequency.

Depending on the version of iOS installed, while the frequency is being changed, rapid charging may not be performed.

■Charging precautions

While charging, the wireless charger and the portable device will become warm. This is not a malfunction.

If a portable device becomes warm while charging and charging stops due to the protection function of the portable device, wait until the portable device cools down and charge it again.

Also, to decrease the temperature inside the wireless charger, a fan may operate. This does not indicate a malfunction.

■Sound generated during operation

Operation sounds may be heard when the power supply switch is pressed to turn the wireless charger on, when the engine switch is pressed to change to ACC or ON while the wireless charger is on, or when a portable device is being detected. This does not indicate a malfunction.
