6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Phone not charging wirelessly. | Misalignment on charging pad; incompatible charging pad; phone case interference; damaged receiver. | Adjust phone position on the charging pad. Ensure the charging pad is Qi-compatible. Remove phone case or use a thinner, non-metallic one. Inspect receiver for damage. |
| Slow charging speed. | Low power output from charging pad; poor alignment; phone case interference; receiver limitations. | Use a wireless charging pad with sufficient power output (e.g., 5V/1A). Ensure proper alignment. Remove phone case. Note that wireless charging may be slower than wired charging. |
| Receiver difficult to remove from phone. | Improper removal technique. | Always grasp the connector head directly and pull straight out. Avoid twisting or pulling the cable. |
| Phone battery drains faster with receiver installed. | Potential power draw when not actively charging (rare, but reported by some users). | If experiencing significant battery drain, remove the receiver when not actively charging. Ensure the receiver is fully disconnected when not in use. |
