Using the Qi Charging Pad

To wirelessly charge your Qi-compatible device, place it on Pathfinder 3 in the Qi

charging area and press the Qi button to enable the Qi charging pad. When a

successful charging connection is made, the blue Qi LED will slowly flash to indicate

the device is charging.

If the charging area cannot establish a charging connection with a device, the blue Qi

LED will flash rapidly. Depending on the device, it may be necessary to move the

device to a specific location on the top panel of Pathfinder 3 to successfully connect.

This is normal for Qi charging pads.

If the charging area cannot detect any Qi-compatible device, the Qi LED will not be

lit.

Press the Qi button again to disable the Qi charging pad.

Connecting and Charging

Note: Before you first use the

product, please fully charge the

battery. Your unit was purposely

shipped with a reduced battery

charge to ensure safe transit.

Use the included power cable to connect the unit to a power outlet and let it charge

for up to 12 hours. This helps ensure the longest life for your battery.

Here are some recommendations for getting the longest life from the internal battery:

• Full charge the battery before using it, and charge the battery completely after

each use.

• If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 3 months, it may

permanently lose capacity.

• If the battery fails to charge, contact ION audio at ionaudio.com.

Features

Outdoor Use and Care

Though Pathfinder 3 is water-resistant and able to tolerate splashing water, please

review the tips below to get the best performance from Pathfinder 3:

• Pathfinder 3 must only be used outdoors with power outlets or extension cords

that are rated for outdoor use.

• Bring Pathfinder 3 indoors during extreme weather.

• Please do not place Pathfinder 3 in standing water.

• Please do not connect the power adapter to Pathfinder 3 in a wet environment.

Make sure the power input, power adapter, and power outlet are all completely dry

before making any connections.

• WARNING: Keep any non-water-resistant devices (phones, music players, etc.) in

a dry place where they will not be affected by water and cause a risk of electric

shock.
