7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Wireless Charging Module SPC+, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Smartphone Not Charging:
  • Ensure the module is securely connected to a functional 5V DC power source.
  • Verify that your smartphone is equipped with an official SP CONNECT SPC+ Phone Case. The module is not compatible with other cases or direct phone contact.
  • Confirm the smartphone is correctly aligned and locked onto the charging module. Rotate it 90 degrees clockwise until it clicks.
  • Check for any debris or foreign objects between the phone case and the charging module that might obstruct the wireless charging connection.
  • Try connecting the module to a different USB power source to rule out power supply issues.

  • Close unnecessary applications on your smartphone to reduce power consumption during charging.
  • High ambient temperatures can sometimes reduce charging efficiency.
• Module Not Locking Securely:
  • Inspect the SPC+ interface on both the module and the mounting head for any damage or wear.
