Most wireless car chargers have three main mounting positions. The three include air vents, windshields, and dashboards. The choice of where to place your wireless car charger all depends on its design and your preferences.

Some mounts, like the ultimate wireless car charger by Fiora, fit in all three possible mounting positions. Others only work with two mounting positions. Users normally argue that mounting your wireless car charger on air vents is quite unstable. This is especially the case when you’re moving through rough terrain and bumpy roads. Mounting the wireless car charger is easy, regardless of where in the car you do it.

Three Ways to Install a Wireless Car Charger

As stated earlier, you have three mounting options on the table. Once you’ve put up the wireless car charger and joined all the parts, now you’re ready to mount it. Here are the three processes to work with:

• Air vent – position the clip of the wireless car charger on the desired vane, and then push the lock switch to secure it. You can either use the looser setting or the tighter one, depending on your preference. Of course, the latter will be great if you’re moving through bumpy roads and rough terrains. If you want to remove the mount from the air vent, you can easily do so by pushing the switch back to its original position.
• Dashboard and windshield – the application of the wireless car charger on the dashboard and the windshield are pretty similar. Position the mount as you want it to appear on the dashboard or windshield. You can adjust the ball joint and the knobs to get the desired viewing angle. Once you’ve achieved the right positioning, remove the adhesive from the mount and place it on the desired surface. Push down the suction lock switch about twice to secure the mount firmly. To remove the mount from either spot, press the suction unlock button once again.

After the installation procedure, you’ll need to check if the mount works fine. Thus, you’ll have to power it up. Connect the cable to the cigarette lighter spot and then join it to the wireless car charger. The status indicator should display a red color to symbolize power. The mount is now ready to use.

Using a Wireless Car Charger after Mounting

Once you’re done installing the wireless car charger, now is the time to use it. Your phone needs to have sufficient charge throughout the day, and it’s the charger’s role to deliver this.

The process of using a wireless car charger is simpler than the installation. It’s sort of a lift and drop system that works conveniently. Hold the phone next to the infrared sensor in case you’re working with a non-magnetic charger. When the sensor recognizes motion, the silicon arms open up to allow you to place the phone for charging. Immediately after you place your phone, the arms once again close firmly to hold your phone. The LED indicator should remain blue when you’re charging the phone.

To remove your phone quickly, just press the quick-release button and you’re good to go. The arm instantaneously releases your phone. This is a lot more convenient compared to conventional wired chargers, which would cause a lot of distraction. Plus, there is a chance you could damage the charging port on your phone through rigorous pulls. This is non-existent with a wireless car charger.

An added advantage of wireless car chargers is that they have fast charging capabilities too. If you want to boost your phone quickly on the go, then this is the charger for you. The magnetic wireless car charger operates slightly differently when it comes to holding the phone. Unlike the former, which depends on an infrared sensor, a magnetic wireless car charger depends on magnetist principles to hold your phone.

All you need to do is attach a metallic plate to the back of your phone and it’ll hold it firmly on the charging pad. However, if you have a phone or case that’s metallic, you don’t have to use the plate.

Safety Precautions While Using a Wireless Car Charger

Generally, a wireless car charger isn’t ranked among the most dangerous items to use on earth. But you still have to use it in the right manner anyway. Otherwise, it’ll break down or damage your device.

For starters, avoid installing a wireless car charger next to or on the airbag spot. Set it apart from the airbag as much as you can. Also, another basic rule is for you to operate the charger and phone, only when practically safe and possible. We agree that it’s much easier to use a wireless car charger while driving than a wired one. But this doesn’t mean that it’s right to do so. Just do that when you’re confident it won’t lead to distraction. It only takes a second for an accident to occur – always have that in mind.

Final Thoughts

In summary, that’s how you mount your wireless car charger. Now that you know, why not get one or install the one you just bought? If you encounter any further trouble with the installation, you can use the manual.
