minimum 30% battery to share. Speed and power efficiency of charge varies by
device. May not work with some accessories, covers, or other manufacturer’s
devices. If you have trouble connecting or charging is slow, remove any cover
from each device. May affect call reception or data services, depending on your
network environment.
For best results when using Wireless PowerShare, please note:
•Remove any accessories or cover before using the feature. Depending on the
type of accessory or cover, Wireless PowerShare may not work properly.
•The location of the wireless charging coil may vary by device, so you may need to
adjust the placement to make a connection. When charging starts, a notification
or vibration will occur, so the notification will help you know you've made a
connection.
•Call reception or data services may be affected, depending on your network
environment.
