  • The wireless charger uses inductive charging, which is less efficient than conventional charging through a cable. As a result, higher device operating temperatures may be experienced during use
  • Charging Performance: The position of your device on the wireless charging pad can affect how efficiently it charges. Performance may also be reduced by foreign objects (such as coins or pens) or thick phone cases
  • Smartphone Temperature: If you use certain smartphone applications while charging, your phone’s self-heating system may activate, which can affect charging speed or performance
  • Charging Interruption: Wireless charging will automatically stop if any door is opened or if there are foreign objects on the charging pad
