The Samsung handsets above are all compatible with Qi wireless chargers such as those found in public spaces and in vehicles, as well as the complete Aircharge range, except for the Galaxy S5 and S4 which require a Qi-compatible accessory (available separately). When using these models, or the S5 and S4 with Qi accessory, simply place the handset on a Qi wireless charger to start charging.
In Aircharge public spaces, users of other non-Qi handsets can also make use of wireless charging technology through the use of the Aircharge Orb, the world’s first and only MFi Certified multi-head adaptor. Simply plug the required connector into the port and place the orb on the Aircharge surface charger to charge. Alternatively, accessories such as the Aircharge keyring or micro USB receiver can be plugged into the device and placed on a wireless charger to transfer charge to the handset.
