4.2 Connecting Power
- Connect the provided USB-C to USB-C cable to the USB-C port on the bottom of the magnetic charging pad.
- Plug the other end of the USB-C cable into a compatible car charger or USB port in your vehicle. For optimal 15W fast charging, ensure your car charger supports Power Delivery (PD) or Quick Charge (QC) protocols.
4.3 Non-MagSafe Phone Compatibility
If your phone does not have built-in MagSafe functionality, you can use the included metal ring. Attach the metal ring to the back of your phone or phone case, ensuring it is centered for proper magnetic alignment and wireless charging.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Attaching Your Phone
Once the charger is installed and powered, simply place your MagSafe-compatible iPhone (iPhone 12-15 series) or a phone with the attached metal ring onto the magnetic charging surface. The strong magnets will automatically align and secure your phone.
5.2 Wireless Charging
The charger will automatically begin 15W wireless charging upon proper alignment. The built-in NTC chip dynamically measures temperature to prevent overheating and protect your phone's battery health.
5.3 Adjusting Viewing Angle
The charger features a 360-degree rotatable ball joint, allowing you to easily adjust your phone to any desired horizontal or vertical viewing angle for navigation or hands-free use.
6. Maintenance
- Air Vent Clip: It is recommended to re-tighten the air vent clip once every two weeks to ensure it remains stable and secure.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the silicone surface of the charger. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Cable Care: Ensure the USB-C cable is not bent sharply or pinched, as this can damage the cable and affect charging performance.
