Wireless charging uses electromagnetic fields to transfer energy from a charger to a device. To use it, ensure your device supports wireless charging. Place it on a compatible wireless charging pad, typically marked with a symbol. Most devices will indicate when charging begins, often with a beep, light, or screen notification. Keep the charging pad connected to a power source and avoid metal objects between the pad and device, as they can interfere with charging efficiency.
