Some Laptops will have a power limitation when connecting the CA Essential Micro Docking Station to
your laptop. The limitation of power from the Laptop may not allow the Qi Wireless Charger, USB Type
A port, USB Type C port and the HDMI port to be used simultaneously. On these Laptops the Qi
Wireless Charger will be disabled when the USB Type A port and USB Type C port are being used.
Connecting the CA Essential Micro Docking Station to an Optional USB Type C Power Adapter for
Power (See instructions on page 3)
When connecting a USB Type C Power Adapter (Sold separately) to the CA Essential Micro Docking
Station for power the USB Type A port, USB Type C port, HDMI port and Qi Wireless Charger can all be
used at the same time. The time it takes to charge your device with the built in Qi Wireless Charge will
vary depending on the power supplied by the USB Type C Power Adapter.
Note: When using all the ports on the CA Essential Micro Docking Station and the Qi Wireless Charging
at the same time the temperature of the CA Essential Micro Docking Station may become high. If the

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions Possible Solution
The CA Essential Micro Docking Station
does not charge your phone.
Please make sure the device you are using supports Qi wireless charging.
What does the blinking LED light on the CA
Essential Micro Docking Station indicate?
Normally, the blinking LED light indicates that one of the internal safety
mechanisms is activated, such as Foreign Object Detection. FOD is an embedded
safety mechanism that automatically stops charging if there is interference
caused by a foreign object such as metal (e.g. coins, paperclips, bankcards). If
applicable, please try removing the phone case or any other accessory (e.g. pop
socket, magnet, etc.) before charging to see if this solves the issue.
Why does my iPhone stop charging before
it reaches 100%?
iOS 13 comes with the “Optimized Battery Charging”feature, which has been
designed to increase the life span of the battery. The software keeps track of
your charging habits and waits to nish charging past 80%. While“Optimized
Battery Charging”can be helpful, it has disadvantages by not allowing your
battery to be fully charged upon demand. This function can be disabled in the
settings of the phone. To disable go to “Settings” “Battery” “Battery
Health” “Optimized Battery Charging”and disable this function.
The CA Essential Micro Docking Station is
not charging your computer through the
USB Type C cable.
Make sure your external Type C AC power adapter is 90W or higher.
The displays are not working. Connect a HDMI monitor to the HDMI port or DisplayPort monitor to the USB
Type C port one at a time to verify the display issue.
Unable to read and write to an external
SSD/HDD and optical (CD/DVD/Blue-ray)
drive when connected to the CA Essential
Micro Docking Station.
- Some external SSD/HDD/Optical drives require higher power than the CA
Essentail Micro Docking Station can support.
- It is recommended that you connect the external SSD/HDD/Optical drive to
your computer directly.
