Requirements Before You Begin:

• A vivomove® Trend watch.
• A Qi-certified charging pad that provides a flat and level charging surface. An example includes:

NOTE: Upright wireless charging stands (such as those intended for smartphones) or automotive wireless chargers (such as those built-in to vehicles) may not be compatible.

How to Wirelessly Charge Your Qi-Compatible Garmin Device

• Connect your Qi-certified charging pad to a power source as instructed by the pad’s manufacturer.

• Place the charging pad on a flat and level surface.

• Before placing the Garmin device onto the charging pad, align the center of the Garmin device with the charging pad’s coil location as indicated on the pad.

  • If there is no indication of where the charging coil is, align the Garmin device with the center of the pad.

• Place the bottom side of the Garmin device on top of the charging pad with the display facing up.

• The display on the Garmin device will indicate the charging status.

Troubleshooting:

• If charging does not start:
  • Completely remove the Garmin device from the charging pad for at least 3 seconds.

  • Replace the Garmin device on the charging pad, ensuring it is properly aligned with the charging coil.

• Some chargers may need to be reset if charging does not start:
  • Completely remove the Garmin device from the charging pad.
  • Unplug the charging pad from its power source for several seconds.
  • Reconnect the charging pad to its power source and wait until it turns on.

  • Replace the Garmin device on the charging pad, ensuring it is properly aligned with the charging coil.

• Some charging pads are sensitive to how the Garmin device is placed on them:
  • Ensure the Garmin device is aligned with the charging pad’s coil location while it is being placed on the charging pad.
  • Try placing the Garmin device slowly onto the charging pad to establish charging.

  • After placing the Garmin device onto the charging pad, try repositioning the Garmin device around the charging pad’s coil location to start charging before re-aligning the device with the charging pad’s coil location.

• Some charging pads contain multiple coils:
  • Ensure the Garmin device is aligned with the primary coil as indicated by markings on the charging pad or by the manufacturer documentation.

  • If the first coil does not successfully charge the Garmin device, try each of the other coils.

• Wireless charging speed may vary depending on the charger used and the surrounding environment
  • Avoid wirelessly charging in a hot environment or in direct sunlight.

  • Wireless charging operates best in 20~30°C (68~86°F) environments.

• If your preferred charging pad is still unable to charge your Garmin device, it may be necessary to use a different Qi-certified charging pad.
