Charging With Fyndr®

Here’s a tip – If your electronic device has
minimal power remaining, turn it off whilst
using Fyndr® to maximise the charging
speed. Turning off electronic devices whilst
charging reduces power consumption to
virtually nil whilst plugged in, increasing
their rate of charge.

*Refer to Troubleshooting (Pages 14-15)
for more information about compatible
devices.

phones and environments. Fyndr® works
best in uncovered parking spaces.

that your Fyndr® car charger is
connected to your car’s 12V accessory
socket when you park your car whether

Troubleshooting

Will all my electronic devices rapidly charge at
3A when plugged into the Qualcomm® Quick
Charge™ 3.0 USB port?

Qualcomm® Quick Charge 3.0 charges devices
up to four times faster than conventional
charging for compatible devices. If your device
is not Qualcomm compatible, you can still
use the Qualcomm® Quick Charge 3.0 port.
Your device and will automatically charge at a
maximum rate of 2.4A, instead of 3A. A full list
of Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 3.0 compatible
devices can be found at www.qualcomm.com

Troubleshooting

What should I do if the Fyndr® charger is not
pairing with the Fyndr® app?

Make sure that the Fyndr ® car charger is
plugged into the car’s 12V power socket and
that your car engine is turned on before
attempting to pair the Fyndr ® car charger with
the Fyndr ® app. If this doesn’t resolve the issue,
please reboot/restart your phone by turning it
off completely and then turning it back on, then
try to pair again.

Can I leave Fyndr® charger in my car or do I need
to take it with me?

You can leave your Fyndr ® in your 12V power
socket – you do not have to take it with you.
When parked, your car and have turned off
your engine, Fyndr® will automatically pin your
location using the GPS on your phone.

What happens if I park my car and Fyndr cannot
locate my location to pin?

Fyndr will detect the location of your parked
car with GPS access. If parked indoors or
in an underground/multi-level cart park,
Fyndr may lose GPS signal. In this instance
Fyndr will suggest you take an image of your
surroundings using your smart phone camera
to help ind the location of your parked car.
