Essential safety tips for using the Laser Wireless Charger for Apple Watch to ensure safe and efficient charging.

Question: What safety precautions should I follow when using the Laser Wireless Charger for my Apple Watch?
Answer:
To safely use the Laser Wireless Charger with your Apple Watch, follow these important guidelines:

1. Use an RCM-Certified Wall Power Adaptor

  - Always use a wall power adaptor that meets Australian RCM certification standards for safety and compliance.

2. Protect Against Moisture and Humidity

  - Keep your Apple Watch and charger dry. Avoid charging in areas with high moisture, such as near sinks or bathtubs.

  - Water exposure can cause short circuits or overheating.

3. Keep Out of Direct Sunlight

  - Do not charge your Apple Watch in direct sunlight or hot environments. High heat increases the risk of overheating.

4. Inspect for Damage

  - Check the wall adaptor and charger before each use. Look for frayed wires, cracks, or other damage.

5. Keep Software Up-to-Date

  - Update your watchOS regularly to ensure you have the latest battery and heat management features.

6. Enable Optimised Charging Features

  - Optimised Battery Charging

      - This feature reduces battery ageing by delaying charging beyond 80% until it predicts you’ll need the watch.

      - To enable:

          1. Open Settings on your Apple Watch.

          2. Go to Battery > Battery Health.

          3. Turn on Optimised Battery Charging

  - Optimised Charge Limit

      - Available on Apple Watch SE, Series 6, and later. This feature learns your usage habits to limit charging below 100% when appropriate.

      - To adjust:

          1. Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health.

          2. Find Optimised Charge Limit and adjust as needed.

7. Minimise Device Activity During Charging

  - Close unnecessary apps on your Apple Watch to reduce processor strain and heat.

  - Let your watch charge without use whenever possible.

8. Proper Placement and Ventilation

  - Align your Apple Watch correctly on the charging pad for efficient charging and to prevent overheating.

  - Place the charger on a hard, flat, non-flammable surface. Avoid charging on beds, pillows, paper or near flammable fabrics like curtains or clothing.

  - Do not charge in hot environments, as ambient temperature can affect charging efficiency and heat.

9. Monitor New Chargers

  - During the first few charges with a new charger, check your watch for unusual heat. If it gets too hot, stop charging and inspect for issues.

10. Avoid Prolonged Charging Periods

  - Remove your Apple Watch from the charger once fully charged. This reduces unnecessary heat build-up.
