If red flashes or remains on, remove the phone and correct heat, alignment or foreign-object conditions before retrying.
Important limits
- Do not place metal, magnetic media or contactless cards between the phone and pad.
- Thick cases and off-center camera housings can disrupt charging.
- The phone determines whether it can use the manual's described 5-watt or 15-watt Qi mode.
Quick checks.
- ✓For a flashing red light, remove foreign objects, let the phone and pad cool, and recenter the device.
- ✓If a solid red light returns, stop using the charger and arrange inspection.
