POWERMA WIRELESS CHARGING
Powermat components are designed to provide a fast, simple and safe charging
solution for today’s most popular devices. The system is comprised of two types
of components: Mats and Receivers. The mats charge multiple devices at once
and are designed to work and look great in many different environments.
Receivers make your device Powermat enabled. Receivers are available for most
of today’s most popular devices and there are several styles of receivers. Once
your favourite devices are enabled with a Powermat receiver, wireless charging is
as easy as placing them on a Powermat.
Fast. Powermat technology enables your devices to charge as fast or even
faster than the charger supplied with your device (based on independent
testing).
Clean. No more spaghetti of wires on your table, counter or under your desk.
Safe. No more overloaded outlets and power strips. Powermat also helps
eliminate the interaction of children with electrical outlets.
Efficient. Charge multiple devices with only one plug. And the system is smart –
our revolutionary technology allows a conversation between mat and device to
take place, ensuring that only the right amount of power is delivered. Not only
that, but charging totally stops when your device is fully charged.

HE POWERMA GREEN S ORY
In today’s world we commonly interact with many portable electronic devices
every day. Each of these devices requires power and we find ourselves plugging
them in all over our homes and offices in a constant struggle to keep them all
charged. Each device has its own power supply plugged into its own outlet and
many of them are never unplugged which in and of itself wastes energy.
Furthermore, many of these power supplies do not take advantage of the most
efficient technologies available and therefore take forever to fully charge our
devices. Finally, they often continue to deliver power long after our devices are
fully charged, wasting even more energy.
POWERMA O HE RESCUE!
Powermat allows you to wirelessly charge multiple devices with a single power
supply. This not only eliminates the need to plug in each device individually but
more importantly also eliminates the power that is wasted when each adapter is
left plugged into the wall. Powermat’s custom power supply delivers power at
the highest efficiency, abiding by the highest power standards (Energy Star 5 –
USA). In fact, our Powermat Mat’s single power supply can charge multiple
devices as fast or faster than the original cord that came with the device. Also,
Powermat builds intelligence into every Mat. Each charging location on every
Mat monitors the charge level of every device and stops sending power when
that device is fully charged.
Powermat’s proprietary power supply, integration of high quality components
and intelligent design results in a very efficient and environmentally conscious
way to keep all of your personal electronic devices charged without wasting
energy.

ALIGNING A DEVICE
Aligning your Powermat enabled devices for optimal charging is simple with
Powermat.
Feel. When you place a device on a Powermat Mat you will feel a slight magnetic
attraction when the device gets close to a Power Access Point. The pull will guide
the device into perfect position for optimal charging.
Hear. The Powermat activation sound will be played when a device is properly
positioned and charging begins. The deactivation sound will be played when the
device is removed from the Power Access Point.
See. Each Power Access Point has a corresponding light indicator that will
illuminate when a device is properly positioned and charging begins. The light
will turn off when the device is removed from the Power Access Point.

HE POWERMA “HANDSHAKE”
When a Powermat enabled device is properly positioned on a Powermat Mat, an
automatic “handshake” process will take place during which the Powermat Mat
will recognize the Powermat Receiver and activate the Powermat Access Point.
(NOTE: Non-enabled devices will not cause activation.) This process ensures that
the proper power is given to your device. Also, this communication allows the
mat to stop delivering power when the device is fully charged. This energy
efficient process is unique to every access point on the mat, meaning that the
mat will address the charging needs of each device independently. The mat will
also stop charging each device as soon as that device is fully charged while
continuing to charge all remaining devices.
Note: The light may come on and go off after approximately fifteen (15) seconds
if the mat confirms that a device is fully charged.

FREQUEN LY ASKED QUES IONS
How does Powermat work?
Powermat utilizes principles of magnetic induction combined with Powermat
proprietary patent-pending technology to safely and effectively provide power
to electronic devices. Powermat transforms surfaces including walls, tables,
floors and desktops into safe, simple, and efficient conductors of energy. It
replaces the need to access multiple electrical sockets for real-time powering
and charging of electronic devices.
Is Powermat safe?
Yes. Powermat technology is completely safe and is well within compliance of all
relevant international safety regulations.
What happens if I put my hand or any non-enabled device on the
Powermat Mat?
Nothing. The system is passive until the Powermat Mat makes contact with a
Powermat Receiver.
Can I use Powermat anywhere I travel?
Yes. Powermat was developed to promote convenience among business
travelers, families, students, office workers and anyone who utilizes multiple
electronic devices.
How long will it take to charge my devices?
Devices will typically charge at the same rate or in some cases even faster than
when utilizing the charger that came with the device.
Which handheld devices can be charged from the Powermat Mat?
Any portable electronic device that has been enabled with a product-specific
Powermat Receiver can be charged using the Powermat Mat. As new Powermat
Receivers become available, we will post the information to our website
(www.powermat.com). Please feel free to check our website for updated
information as frequently as you wish.

Is it possible to charge multiple (different) devices simultaneously?
Yes. The Powermat Mat simultaneously delivers power to multiple electronic
devices, each of which must be enabled with its own dedicated
Powermat Receiver.
Does utilization of Powermat adversely affect the battery life of a device
being charged?
No. Powermat simply provides an alternate method of power distribution for
electronic devices that have been Powermat enabled. It has no impact on
battery life or performance.

positioned on the Powermat Mat and that the
indicator light is lit, indicating that a connection
has been made between the mat and your
enabled device (make sure that the light is not
turned off via the light button on the rear of
the mat).
Please note that this may also indicate that the
device has been fully charged and no further
charging is needed.
NO E: Devices that have not been enabled
with a Powermat Receiver will not activate.

Problem Solution
The indication light is
not lit
If the indication light on the front of the mat fails
to glow at all, a proper connection between the
Powermat Mat and your device has not been
made.
Re-align the center of the Powermat Receiver
with the Power Access Point on your Powermat
Mat until the light glows.
The indication light is
flashing
If the light flashes on and off instead of emitting
a steady glow, the connection is incomplete.
eep adjusting the position of your Powermat
Receiver until you see a steady light. When the
light emits a steady glow, proper positioning has
been achieved and charging will begin.
No magnetic lock Magnetic lock is achieved when the device and
Power Access Point are properly aligned. Re-
align the Powermat Receiver with the Power
Access Point on your Powermat Mat until a
physical lock is achieved.
