recharging smart phones and other devices, such as small tablets. Larger tablets may
charge, but at a much slower rate. Under no circumstances should this product be used
for any other purpose.
• Avoid locating the Charging Unit in proximity to locations where the device being
charged may get wet, exposed to excessive heat or any other conditions which may
damage the device being charged.

dishwashers, warming drawers, wine refrigerators etc.
• If installing the Charging Unit above a drawer, make sure there is sufcient clearance,
including the drawer contents.
• Install the Charging Unit where it will be accessible. If there is a warranty replacement
you will need to be able to remove and replace the Charging Unit.
• If more than one Charging Unit is to be installed, they should be at least 150mm from
each other.
• Always ensure the Charging Unit has been properly installed before use. Refer to the
instructions on our website for more information at www.casf.com.au/corianpowerup
• The Charging Unit is supplied with it’s own power lead and CANNOT be substituted with
any other lead or hard wired into an installation. In many cases an AC Power outlet will
need to be installed into your cabinetry where the Charging Unit is to be installed. Local
codes must be followed and the AC outlet must be installed by a licensed electrician.

Operating Instructions
Before First Use
The DuPont™ Corian® Charging Unit is compliant with PMA and Qi wireless charging
standards. The Charging Unit is tuned for best performance through 8mm of Corian®
solid surface. Due to the precise routing required, the installation should be done
in a DuPont™ Certied Corian® fabrication shop prior to benchtop and Charging Unit
installation.
It is recommended that you verify the Charging Unit is operational, by plugging it in and
checking that the green LED light blinks once.

Mark the charging location on your Corian® surface. Options for marking the
charging spot may include a permanent mark, either a highly visible mark or a
subtle mark that blends with the background colour of your Corian® surface. A highly
visible mark may be preferred in environments where multiple users will be using
the Charging Unit and aren’t familiar with the area. Subtle or temporary markings
may be more appropriate where there are a limited number of users that will become
familiar with the location over time.
Some smart phones/devices already include built-in support for wireless charging.
If you are charging a device with this capability, simply position the device over the
charging spot and your device will begin to charge.
Your device’s screen will light up to acknowledge when charging begins.
If your device does not have built-in support for wireless charging, you can enable
your device by plugging a wireless charging ring (sold separately) into its charging
port. We recommend the PMA compliant charging rings shown in this user guide.
If you are using a wireless charging ring to charge your device, you will need to plug it
into your device, then position the void of the wireless charging ring in the centre of
the charging spot that you have marked on your benchtop. Charging will then begin.

FAQs
How does wireless charging work?
Wireless power, also known as inductive coupling, uses narrow magnetic elds that
are a natural part of how electrical current moves through wires. It starts by creating a
magnetic eld around a hidden electrical coil. The receiving device has a hidden coil that
can receive the magnetic energy created, thereby transferring power wirelessly.
What do I need to charge my device?
Some devices already include built-in support for wireless charging. If your device does
not have this capability, you can enable your device by plugging a Powermat® wireless
charging ring into its charging port or by using a case specically designed for wireless
charging.
Does DuPont™ offer an adapter for my existing devices?
DuPont™ offers a Powermat® Wireless Charging Ring which acts as an adapter. It comes
in several different variations depending on the type of device you have. The Ring is
plugged into your device’s charging port and acts as a receiver of the magnetic energy
created by the technology embedded in the DuPont™ Corian® solid surface. Visit our
website at www.casf.com.au/corianpowerup to learn the latest news on compatibility or
to purchase more rings.
Is the Charging Unit available for residential or commercial
applications?
Both. For all applications, we offer the Individual Wireless Charging unit. This is a single
charging unit that, once installed, is a plug-and-play system that works instantly for
those who are ready to power up. With the ability to install one or a series of units for
multiple users, the Individual unit creates a seamless solution for most settings.
Is wireless charging faster than wired charging?
Wireless charging receivers will charge your phone at approximately the same rate as
wired charging.
Can you charge other devices besides smartphones?
Yes, DuPont™ Corian® Charging Unit uses technology that is scalable and versatile. It
can be used to charge a range of devices depending upon the specic makeup of the
wireless charging spots. Most wireless charging spots are initially congured to support
smartphones and other devices, such as small tablets. Larger tablets may charge, but at
a much slower rate.
9
Can a laptop be charged?
No. A laptop requires higher energy to charge so it either may fail to charge at all or will
charge at a much slower rate. However, Corian® Charging Unit has scalable technology
and has the ability to upgrade to laptop compatibility when this technology becomes
available.
How close does my device need to be to the charging spot to charge
wirelessly?
The device must be directly on top of the charging spot. This ensures that the transmitter
in the charging spot and the receiver in the device can transmit power.
Can I use my phone while its charging?
Yes, provided it is within range of the charging spot.
How many devices can be charged at once?
One device can be charged per charging spot.
