Wireless Charging FAQs

Q. Why is the blue light blinking?

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.

USB Charging Port

There is a 1 Amp USB Charging Port located on the right side of your alarm clock.

Connect your external device’s USB charging cable (not included) into the USB Charging Port.
Charging times may vary.
USB Power Output: 1 Amp maximum current

OUTDOOR SENSOR

Position Outdoor Sensor

Location of your Outdoor Sensor is important for accurate Temperature Readings.

Mount the sensor vertically at least 6 feet off 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 soffit or dryer vents, windows or door frames

Optional Sensor Shield

The optional Sensor Weather Shield is designed to protect your outdoor sensor from rain and snow.

The station will search for 3 minutes every hour to try and reconnect with the sensor.
To manually search for your outdoor sensor, hold the + button until the Reception Icon starts to animate.
