Wireless Charging FAQs
Q. Why is the blue light blinking?
A. Phone is not centered on the charging pad.
A. Your phone must be Qi-Enabled to charge.
A. If the phone has a large/thick case, it may interfere with charging.
A. Foreign objects on the charging pad may make the light blink.
Q. Why is the table surface getting warm?
A. Ensure the clock is on a hard, clean surface.
A. Do not place on cloth, paper, or other items that may obstruct airflow.

Important:
Wireless charging uses magnetic induction to charge your compatible smartphone. Do not
place anything between your phone and the charging pad. Keep the charging pad clear of all
foreign objects. Magnetic mounts, magnetic cases, or other objects between your phone and
the wireless charger may reduce performance or damage magnetic strips or RFID chips found
in some credit cards, security badges, passports, and key fobs. If your phone case holds any
of these sensitive items, be sure to remove them before charging or make sure they are not
between the back of your phone and the charging pad.

Location of your Outdoor Sensor is important for
accurate Temperature Readings.
 Mount the sensor vertically at least 6 feet o the
ground.
 Provide good airflow around the sensor.
 Direct sunlight can inflate the temperature reading, so
a north-side, shaded location is best.
 Be aware of heat sources such as sot or dryer
vents, windows or door frames.
