Setup Instructions
1. Prepare Controllers for Wireless Charging

2. Connect the Charging Dock
- Place the D3 Charging Dock on a stable, flat surface. For added stability, you may attach the included anti-slip pads to the bottom of the dock.
- Connect the provided USB-C charging cable to the 'POWER IN' port on the back of the D3 Charging Dock.
- Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to a power adapter. For optimal and fast charging, a 45W or higher PD (Power Delivery) charger is recommended. An 18W charger can be used but will result in slower charging times. (Note: Power adapter is not included).

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BOBOVR D3 Charging Dock, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the charging dock. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface.
- Avoid Liquids: Keep the charging dock away from water and other liquids. In case of accidental spills, immediately unplug the device and allow it to dry completely before re-using.
- Storage: When not in use, store the charging dock in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handle with Care: Avoid dropping or subjecting the dock to strong impacts, which could damage internal components.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your D3 Charging Dock, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Headset Not Charging:
- Ensure the Quest 3 headset is properly seated on the central charging area. Sometimes, slight adjustments are needed for the connection to engage.
- Verify that the power adapter connected to the dock is 45W or higher. Lower wattage chargers may not provide sufficient power for the headset.
- Check if any third-party facial interfaces or accessories are obstructing the headset's contact with the charging pins. Removing them temporarily might resolve the issue.
- Slow Charging:
- The charging speed is directly related to the power adapter's wattage. For optimal speed, use a 45W or higher PD charger. An 18W charger will result in significantly slower charging.
- Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the dock and the power adapter.
- Controllers Not Charging:
- Confirm that the BOBOVR wireless charging batteries are correctly installed in the controllers and that the BOBOVR battery covers are securely attached.
- Ensure the controllers are placed firmly in their designated magnetic charging slots on the dock. The magnetic connection should be strong.
- Red Indicator Light:
- A red light indicates an incompatible charger, typically a 5V charger. Replace it with a 9V-15V charger (preferably 45W or higher) for proper operation.
