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 and/or acces-

sory attached, it may not be possi-

ble to charge the portable device. If 

the portable device is placed on the 

charging area and does not charge, 

remove the cover and/or accesso-

ries.

■

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 fre-

quency 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.

■

Charging precautions

●

If the electronic key cannot be 

detected in the cabin, charging 

cannot be performed. When a 

door is opened and closed, 

charging may be temporarily sus-

pended.

●

While charging, the wireless char-

ger and the portable device will 

become warm. 

This is not a malfunction.If a porta-

ble device becomes warm while 

charging and charging stops due 

to the protection function of the 

portable device, wait until the por-

table device cools down and 

charge it again.

■

Sound generated during opera-

tion

When the power supply switch is 

turned on or while a portable device 

is being identified, operation sounds 

may be heard. This is not a malfunc-

tion.
