Charging Your Devices Wirelessly
Once your Xentris charging pad is set up, charging your compatible devices is incredibly simple:
- Device Placement: Gently place your Qi-compatible smartphone or device directly onto the center of the charging pad. Ensure that the back of your device is in direct contact with the charging surface. For phones, the charging receiver is typically located in the center of the back of the device.
- Charging Indicator: Most devices will indicate that charging has begun, usually with an on-screen notification or a charging icon. Some Xentris charging pads may also have an LED indicator light to confirm charging is in progress.
- Alignment is Key: If your device is not charging, try slightly adjusting its position on the charging pad. Misalignment is a common reason for charging to not initiate.
- Charging Time: Charging times can vary depending on your device’s battery capacity and the power output it supports. Wireless charging at 5W is generally slower than fast wired charging but offers greater convenience.
