Using CA Essential Micro Docking Station
- The CA Essential Micro Docking Station will get its power when connected to the Laptop’s
USB Type C port. The functionality will vary based on the power available from the
Laptop’s USB Type C port.
- Power available for attached peripherals and wireless charging are dependent on the
power supplied by your Laptop’s USB Type C port. The USB Type C port on your laptop
may support either 7.5W or 15W. If the power supplied is 15W then all the functions of the
CA Essential Micro Docking Station can be used simultaneously. If the power supplied is
7.5W NOT all functions of the CA Essential Micro Docking Station can be used simultane-
ously.
- The 7.5W power supplied by the Laptop’s USB Type C port will 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.
- If the power supplied by the Laptop’s USB Type C port is 7.5W a USB Type C 15W Power
Adapter purchased separately will be necessary to power the CA Essential Micro Docking
Station to allow the Qi Wireless Charger, USB Type A port, USB Type C port and the HDMI
port to be used simultaneously.

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.
