Wireless Charging, the New Choice for Easy Charging

EMUI 8.1 supports wireless charging, making charging even simpler and easier than before. A Phone

which supports wireless charging can be used together with a charger. The charger may either be

used as a separate accessory or installed in a car, hotel, or in a piece of furniture, making charging

much easier as it avoids the hassle of dealing with incompatible charging ports, nding outlets, and

dealing with the need for space and the bother of cables and plugs.

Not all EMUI 8.1 Phones support wireless charging. Please refer to the actual model of the

device you purchased for specic instructions.

l A wireless charger consists a charging head, a charging cable, and a charging cradle. The

charging cradle doesn't come with the device. Please purchase an ofcial cradle on Vmall to

ensure a safe and quality charging.

l The charging mode supported by your Phone depends on the charger that comes with your

device. If your charger supports fast charging, your device will use wireless fast charging mode;

otherwise, only normal wireless charging will be available.

The process of using your wireless charger is as follows:
