The Scosche MQUSM is a Qi-certified wireless charging magnetic mount designed for smartphones. It combines the convenience of wireless charging with the stability of magnetic mounting, offering a hands-free solution for various environments, particularly in vehicles.

Function Description:

The MQUSM allows users to wirelessly charge their Qi-enabled smartphones without the need for physical cables to the device itself. It provides both 5W and 10W charging capabilities, accommodating different charging needs. The device utilizes electromagnetic fields to transfer power from the MagicMount Charge unit (transmitter) to a receiving device (built into Qi-enabled smartphones or via add-on accessories like battery covers or receivers). The integrated high-powered neodymium magnets ensure a secure hold for the smartphone, preventing it from falling during use. Advanced safety features, such as Foreign Object Detection (FOD), are incorporated to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards, safeguarding both the device and the user. The MQUSM is compatible with a wide range of Qi-enabled smartphones from manufacturers including Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, LG, HTC, and Motorola, as well as Qi-enabled cases, receivers, and battery covers.

Important Technical Specifications:

Charging Output: 5W and 10W wireless charging.
Safety Features: Foreign Object Detection (FOD) to prevent overheating and fire hazards.
Magnetic System: High-powered neodymium magnets for secure mounting.
Certification: Qi Certified by the Wireless Power Consortium, ensuring safety, compatibility, and energy efficiency.
LED Indicator: Provides visual feedback on charging status (BLUE, GREEN, BLUE sequence when powered ON; GREEN for standby; BLUE for charging).
Interference Mitigation: Designed to minimize interference with car wireless systems (e.g., key fobs, immobilizers, tire pressure monitors). It is recommended to test placement and keep key fobs at least 10 inches away from the MQUSM module if interference occurs.
FCC Compliance: Tested and found to comply with FCC Rules for WPC devices (Part 18) and wireless power chargers.
IC Compliance: Complies with Industry Canada License-exempt RSS standard(s) and IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits.

Usage Features:

Wireless Charging: Eliminates the need for physical charging cables to the smartphone, simplifying the charging process.
Magnetic Mounting: Provides a strong and secure magnetic hold for the smartphone, allowing for hands-free use and easy attachment/detachment.
Versatile Mounting Options (MagicPlate™): The device comes with multiple MagicPlate™ mounting options to suit different user preferences and phone types:
- Option 1 (Large Single Plate): For direct mounting to the device itself. Involves removing the white paper backing from the plate and aligning it with a template guide at the bottom of the phone.
- Option 2 (Two Small Plates): For mounting directly to a phone case. Involves removing the white paper backing from both small plates and aligning them with an integrated template guide at the bottom of the phone.
- Option 3 (Two Small Plates for Galaxy S9/S9+): Specifically designed for direct mounting to Galaxy S9/S9+ devices (not cases). This option involves removing the white paper backing, aligning a "U" channel to the fingerprint reader and camera, and using a protective film between the device and the lower plate to ensure proper application.
Easy Plate Application: Each option provides clear, step-by-step instructions for applying the MagicPlate™ to the smartphone or case, ensuring correct placement for optimal charging and magnetic hold.
Status Indicator: The LED indicator on the side of the mount provides immediate visual feedback on the device's power and charging status, allowing users to quickly confirm if their phone is charging.
Direct-Fit Panel Option: The MQUSM can be integrated into custom direct-fit panels (UQ01 illustration used for instructions, actual panel may vary) for a seamless look in a vehicle's interior.

Maintenance Features:

Plate Removal: Instructions are provided for safely removing the MagicPlate™ using a thin plastic card to lift the adhesive surface. Users are explicitly warned against using heat or liquids, as this could damage the phone.
Customer Support: Comprehensive customer support is available online (www.scosche.com/contact, customerservice@scosche.com) or by phone (800-363-4490 X1) for assistance with product issues, replacement parts, or questions regarding plate removal. This ensures users have access to help if they encounter difficulties.
No Retailer Returns for Support: Users are advised not to return the product to the retailer for assistance or replacement parts, but rather to contact Scosche directly, streamlining the support process.
Regular Cleaning (Implied): While not explicitly stated, maintaining a clean surface on both the MagicMount and the MagicPlate™ is generally recommended for optimal magnetic adhesion and charging efficiency.
Interference Management: The manual provides guidance on how to mitigate potential interference with car wireless systems, such as testing placement and maintaining distance from key fobs, which can be considered a user-level maintenance or troubleshooting step.
Compliance Information: The inclusion of FCC and IC statements provides users with assurance regarding the device's regulatory compliance, which indirectly contributes to its long-term reliability and safety.
