STAGE 1- CHARGER INSTALLATION

1. Use the desk sizing tool on the box to measure your table’s compatibility. If you are not within the colored area, you should not install the charger. Please note the H (high) and L (low) setting indicators for later.
   

2. Place your mobile phone where you want to charge it.
   

3. Align the center of your phone to the icon in the charging area.
   

4. Choose between screw or tape installation. Tape or screw the charger into position making sure the charger still reaches the power point (screws may be easier to remove).
   

5. Use the cable clips to attach the power cable to your table. Plug the power cable into either port.
   

6. Connect up to two UTS-1 with daisy chain power adaptor applicable.

• ‘Please ensure units are spaced at least 15cm (6.0″) apart and always use two units connected together.
  

STAGE 2 – PHONE CALIBRATION

Phone calibration – making sure your phone is positioned correctly and charging.

1. Switch the toggle to the “C” position.
   

2. Select a sticker template guide according to personal preference. See suggested sizing below.
   

3. Apple/Samsung users Align your phone to fit your phone model.
   Other brand mobiles Align your phone to the best fit model.
   

4. Move the template and phone together gently holding the side handles to slowly move your device closer to the charging area and listen for the increasing speed of the audio beeps.
   – Please allow up to 1 second before moving your device to re-position.
   – As the audio beeps get faster, you are getting closer to the centered charging position.
   – When the sound changes to a solid signal you have reached your perfect charging area.
   

5. Remove your phone whilst keeping your template card in position and carefully place the charging sticker in the circular gap in the template.
   If selecting the smallest sticker please ensure you place it in the center.

6. Switch the toggle position of the charger to the correct thickness setting for your surface. Use desk sizer on box side to measure.

7. Audio Confirmation Beep Configuration. Switch your height toggle switch to calibration mode and switch back to your original height position and listen for the number of audio beeps.

To disable or enable buzzer
Repeat the above step to disable or enable the buzzer depending on preference. Kew Labs advises using the audio confirmation system to start with to determine optimal phone placement accuracy.
Note: The recalibration process or multiple calibration attempts will toggle the audio confirmation on/off. Please adjust the buzzer configuration accordingly after each calibration to your desired functionality.
Please turn over

GENERAL USE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place your phone face up aligning the center of your phone to the center of the sticker.
   

2. The UTS-1 will make an audio confirmation beep to indicate the accuracy of your phone positioning.

A beep is a confirmation that your phone has been placed in an optimal position for charging and fast charging. If you do not hear the beep but your phone indicates charging, you may be experiencing regular or slower charging speeds. For better performance please reposition your device more accurately to receive the beep confirmation.
For better results, please remove the phone from the charging spot and wait 2-3 seconds before repositioning

Note: If you still do not hear the confirmation beep please check if the buzzer has been disabled in stage 2 – step 7.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND FADS

Please email supportfakewlabstech.com for all other questions and queries or find us on our Facebook messaging page.

Why is my phone not charging?
Please ensure:

• If you have a phone case, it is flat and does not contain any metal, centrally located magnets, cardholders, pop sockets or kickstands.
• Ensure your phone is aligned as centrally as possible.
• Check if your phone is Qi wirelessly charging enabled.
• Check your sticker position through recalibration.
• Check your table or surface thickness is within the stated performance range.

Why do the audio confirmation beeps take different amounts of time?
The time taken to beep is determined by how accurately you have positioned your device. A center position will beep faster than a misaligned placement or at greater distances, i.e., 25mm (1.0″). Thicker cases can also cause longer recognition time and therefore longer time to beep. Recalibrate if necessary to improve sticker position or center your device on the sticker more accurately to get a better alignment.
Why has my phone stopped charging?
The UTS-1 is designed to recognize and react to temperature changes within your phone which can occur after extra long charging periods of 3 hours or more. In these instances, the charger may enter a standby mode to allow your device to cool if required by your phone until the device requests more power. This feature ensures better battery health and longevity for your phone.

Can I switch the audio confirmation off?
Yes— if you would prefer or need to use the charger without the audio confirmation buzzer system, you are able to turn it off. However, without the audio confirmation, your phone is not necessarily charging just through the charging indication on your screen. If you choose to use the device without the buzzer, please ensure your alignment and setup is correct and accurate.
Why does my phone feel hot?
Increased phone temperatures during wireless charging are normal, especially during longer charging sessions. Our IPCIN technology is designed to minimize phone heating however if your phone is hotter than usual, please ensure you have aligned it correctly and try again.
Why do the charging speeds vary?
Different phone models have different battery sizes and charging profiles therefore take different amounts of time to charge, with large batteries especially taking longer. Charging speeds may also slow at 80% in IOS models due to Apple software requirements designed to limit battery deterioration during wireless charging. The UTS-1 recognizes IOS charging signals and corresponds by adapting charging speeds until your device requests more power. Please try turning OFF ‘Optimised Battery Charging’ in your ‘Settings’. 0 Charging speeds will also vary depending on the surface thickness. Thicker surfaces will reduce charging efficiency due to the greater distance the charging signal needs to travel
What does the flashing LED indicator on the charger mean?
A flashing LED light is an electrical system fault error (see in LED indication section (page 12) below for more detail).
