Operation
Using the Qi Charging Pad
To wirelessly charge your Qi-compatible device, place it on Charge Time Plus in the Qi charging area.
When a successful charging connection is made, the Qi LED will be lit green and remain solid to indicate the
device is charging.
If the charging area cannot establish a charging connection with a device, the Qi LED will flash green to alert
you. Depending on the device, it may be necessary to move the device to a specific location on the top
panel of Charge Time Plus to successfully connect. This is normal for Qi charging pads.
If the charging area cannot detect any Qi-compatible device, the Qi LED will not be lit.
Note:
• Do not leave non-Qi compatible devices in the charging area for extended periods, as this may reduce
the lifetime of the Qi charging capabilities.
• Do not place metallic objects, magnetic objects, or credit cards on the Qi landing pad. These will
interfere with the Qi charging.
• Some thick protective cases may inhibit the device from Qi charging.
• If your phone vibrates, it might shift off the Qi landing pad. It is encouraged to turn off ‘vibrate’ while Qi
charging.
• Qi charging may not engage if the device is simultaneously connected to a USB port.
• It is normal for your phone to get warmer while charging. To extend the lifespan of your battery, if the
battery gets too warm, certain phones may have software designed to limit charging above 80
percent.
• It is recommended to charge in a cool location to optimize charging times.
Using the Alarm
To set the alarm:
1. Press and hold the Alarm button for 2 seconds. The hours' digits on the display will flash.
2. Tap the Left (◄) and Right (►) buttons to set the desired hour.
3. Tap the Alarm button to switch to the minutes' digits, which will flash on the display.
4. Tap the Left (◄) and Right (►) buttons to set the desired minutes.
5. Press and hold the Alarm button to confirm the alarm time.
To briefly display the alarm time, tap the Alarm button at any time.
To enable or disable the alarm, tap the Alarm button, and then immediately tap the Left (◄) or Right (►)
button.
When the alarm is sounding:
• Press and hold the Alarm button to turn off the alarm. This does not disable or "snooze" the alarm; the
alarm time will be saved and repeat at the same time the following day.
• Press the Minus (-) or the Plus (+) button to snooze the alarm. The alarm will repeat again after 9
minutes.
Setting the Sleep Sounds
1. Press and hold the Alarm and Clock buttons to enter the ambient sound selection mode. The front panel of the
clock (where the temperature is usually) will change to show the duration that the sound will play (0 =
continuous, 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes).
2. Select from one of the five sounds using the Left (◄) and Right (►) buttons.
3. Adjust the duration settings by tapping the Clock button repeatedly to cycle through the options. The area
where the temperature usually is will show the number that represents which sound you are on.
4. To turn off a sound while it is playing, press and hold the Alarm and Clock buttons.
Note: When sleep sounds are playing, Bluetooth pairing will be disconnected.
While a sleep sound is playing, the time will be displayed, and the sleep sound number will be displayed in the area
where the temperature usually is. If the sound is on a timer, once the time has expired, that area will show the
temperature again.
Adjusting the Display
Brightness: Press the Minus (-) and Plus (+) buttons at the same time to cycle through the brightness settings for
the display: low, medium, and high.
Clock Format: Press and hold the Left (◄) and Right (►) buttons to toggle between the 12/24 clock format.
Temperature: Press the Alarm and Clock buttons at the same time to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit
temperatures.
Receiving Phone Calls
If your phone is connected via Bluetooth, Charge Time Plus can receive calls through the built-in microphone. When
there is an incoming call, you will hear a ringing through the speakers. Tap Play/Pause to answer an incoming call.
To end a phone call, tap the Play/Pause button. To reject an incoming call, press and hold Play/Pause.
Connecting a Bluetooth Device
To connect a Bluetooth device:
1. Turn on your Bluetooth device.
2. If it is not already on, turn on Charge Time Plus by connecting the power input to a power outlet using the
included power adapter.
3. If you have previously paired a Bluetooth device, Charge Time Plus will reconnect automatically.
If you have not connected a device previously, Charge Time Plus will automatically enter pairing mode.
4. Navigate to your Bluetooth device’s setup screen, find Charge Time Plus and connect.
Note: If your device requires a passcode or PIN, enter 0000.
5. The Bluetooth LED will light up solid when it is "paired."
If your Bluetooth device is not able to connect to Charge Time Plus, press and hold the Play/Pause button to
break previous Bluetooth connections and reset the Bluetooth module.
6. Start playback from your Bluetooth device.
IMPORTANT: If a device is connected to the auxiliary input, Bluetooth pairing will be turned off. Disconnect the
device to re-enter Bluetooth pairing mode.
To disconnect a connected Bluetooth device, press and hold the Play/Pause button.

NOTICE CONCERNING FCC REGULATIONS: You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures: (a) reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; (b) move this unit; (c) increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver; (d) connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected; (e) be sure
that all cables are properly shielded, using a choke or ferrite where appropriate; (f) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.

This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.
ESD / EFT Warning: This unit may contain a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations,
severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lock up. In the unlikely event that this should
happen, turn off the unit, wait at least five seconds, and then turn it back on again.
In an environment with radio frequency interference, the unit may malfunction and resume normal operation after removal of the interference.
For best audio quality, avoid using this device in a high RF-radiated environment.
