NOTEWireless power sharing works with most Qi-Certified devices. Requires
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.

•Remove any accessories or cover before using the feature. Depending on the
type of accessory or cover, Wireless power sharing 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. During charging, do not move or use either device.
•Call reception or data services may be affected, depending on your network
environment.
•Charging speed or efficiency can vary depending on device condition or
surrounding environment.
•Do not use headphones.
