How to Properly Align Your Phone on the Yootech Wireless Charger

Wireless charging is convenient, but it only works efficiently when your phone is correctly positioned on the charging pad. The Yootech Wireless Charger uses Qi technology, which requires proper alignment between your device’s internal charging coil and the charger’s coil. If your phone isn’t placed properly, charging may stop, become slower, or not start at all. Below is a complete guide to help you align your phone perfectly for reliable and fast charging every time.

1. Understand the Charging Coil Position

Every smartphone has a built-in Qi charging coil — usually located near the center of the back panel.

For most iPhones, the coil is in the upper center area.
For Samsung and other Android devices, it’s often slightly lower.
Knowing where your coil is located helps you find the ideal contact point on the Yootech pad.

2. Center the Device on the Charging Pad

Place your phone so that the middle of the back lines up with the center of the Yootech charger. The charger’s center is where its internal coil is located.

You can use the Yootech logo or LED indicator area as a visual reference.
Once properly placed, the LED light should briefly flash green and then turn solid green or off (depending on model), indicating successful charging.

3. Remove Obstructions

Any barrier between your phone and the charger can cause misalignment or heat buildup. Make sure to:

Remove metal cases, rings, or magnetic mounts.
Avoid thick cases (more than 5mm).
Keep coins, keys, or credit cards away from the pad.

Yootech chargers are optimized for thin, non-metallic cases only.

4. Check for LED Indicator Feedback

The LED light helps confirm alignment:

Green flashing light – Improper alignment or foreign object detected.
Solid green light – Properly aligned and charging.
No light or faint glow – Charging is complete or in standby mode.

If you see the light blinking, lift your phone and reposition it slightly until the LED indicates a stable charge.

5. Use a Flat and Stable Surface

Place the charger on a flat, stable surface like a desk or nightstand. Uneven or soft surfaces (like beds or couches) can cause the phone to slide out of the charging zone overnight, interrupting charging.

6. Consider Charger Type (Pad vs. Stand)

Yootech offers both flat pads and angled stands:

On charging pads, place your phone horizontally and ensure it stays centered.
On charging stands, align the phone vertically with the support bracket so the charging coil lines up with the stand’s center area.

If you’re using a Yootech dual coil stand, alignment is more forgiving — you can charge both vertically or horizontally.

7. Verify Charging Efficiency

After placement, check your phone’s screen:

It should display a charging symbol or “Wireless charging” message.
If not, lift the device slightly and adjust until it connects.
Consistent placement ensures faster and safer charging without overheating.

8. Bonus Tip: Mark the Sweet Spot

If you often miss the correct position, use a small non-permanent sticker or piece of tape to mark the “sweet spot” on your charger. It helps you place your phone perfectly every time, especially in low light.

Final Thoughts

Proper alignment on the Yootech Wireless Charger ensures optimal charging speed, safety, and efficiency. Remember — wireless charging depends on coil-to-coil contact, so even a few millimeters off-center can make a difference. By keeping your device centered, removing obstructions, and using visual cues, you’ll enjoy a smooth and reliable charging experience every time.
