A: Wireless charging enables you to charge your smartphone without using a cable. Simply placing it face up on the charging pad is enough to start charging up your smartphone’s battery. Wireless charging works by transferring energy from the charger to a receiver in the back of the phone via electromagnetic induction. The charger uses an induction coil to create an alternating electromagnetic field, which the receiver coil in the phone converts back into electricity to be fed into the battery. The closer the phone is to the wireless charging pad, the better the charge.
A: To set up the wireless charging pad all you need to do is plug in the power cable into an outlet and into the rear USB hub. Once you do this, the LED on the wireless charging pad will light up then turn off. Now you’re ready to wirelessly charge your Qi-enabled device! Simply place your Qi-enabled device onto the wireless charging pad within the guide lines. Your device should now be charging!

A: It’s not a straight answer, depends on the size of the phone’s battery, if you’re using it while charging, and the battery level when you start charging (20% life will charge faster than 85% life). See below for estimate per type of phone:
A: No, it is not dangerous. Wireless charging is safe. Wireless charging system must follow rules and regulations for electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC), sometimes also called “radio disturbance”, and magnetic fields. The device will become warm in use, but this normal.
A: Depending on the thickness of the case it may not register. Most thin/normal size cases will work properly. It may be required to remove the case from the phone to get the charger to work. Wireless charging works by distance, and that distance is very small, and the more obstructions there are the slower the charge will be (wall thickness, thickness of phone cases, pop sockets, etc).
A: The entire system is 5V. The wireless charger pulls up to 1 Amp.
