Set up a 3-in-1 wireless charger so your phone, watch, and earbuds all power up on one pad. Follow these steps to avoid overheating and slow charging.
Quick answer
To charge your phone, watch, and earbuds on one charger, place each device on its designated coil or pad, keep cases under 3mm thick, and use the included power adapter. A 3-in-1 wireless portable charger like the Mous 3-In-1 Wireless Portable Charger handles all three at once, but you must align the watch and earbuds correctly or they will not charge.
Check your charger's layout and power needs
Before you place any device, look at how the charger is built. Most 3-in-1 models have a flat pad for earbuds, a raised or magnetic pad for the phone, and a smaller indent or module for the watch. The Mous 3-In-1 Wireless Portable Charger uses a MagSafe-compatible module for the phone, a dedicated Apple Watch module, and a separate earbuds pad. Plug the charger into a wall outlet using the recommended adapter. If you use a lower-wattage adapter, the phone may charge slowly or the watch may not charge at all.
Position each device for a solid connection
Place your phone centered on the magnetic pad until you feel it snap into place. For the watch, lay it flat on the watch module with the back of the watch facing down. Earbuds go on the flat pad, but the charging case must be wireless-charging compatible. If your phone has a thick case, remove it or use a MagSafe-compatible case. The same goes for the watch: a bulky bumper can lift it off the coil.
Avoid common mistakes that slow charging
Do not stack devices on top of each other or place them on the wrong pad. Metal objects, credit cards, and keys left on the charger can interfere with charging or cause heat buildup. If your phone charges slowly, check that the charger's power adapter matches the required wattage and that the charging port is fully inserted. For travel, unplug the charger and let it cool before packing.
Step-by-step: charging three devices on one charger
- 1. Plug in the charger with the right adapter: Connect the charger to a wall outlet using the included or recommended power adapter. Check the charger's manual for the required wattage. Using a weaker adapter is the most common reason a watch or earbuds fail to charge. Checkpoint: The charger's indicator light should turn on. If not, try a different outlet or adapter.
- 2. Place your phone on the magnetic pad: Center your phone on the main charging pad until it aligns magnetically. Remove thick cases or use a MagSafe-compatible case. If your phone does not snap into place, adjust it until you see the charging icon. Checkpoint: Your phone should show a charging indicator within a few seconds.
- 3. Set your watch on its module: Lay the watch flat on the watch charging module with the back of the watch facing down. Remove any thick watch bumper. Do not place the watch on the phone pad or earbuds pad. Checkpoint: The watch screen should light up with a charging symbol.
- 4. Put your earbuds case on the flat pad: Place the earbuds charging case on the dedicated earbuds pad. Make sure the case itself supports wireless charging. If it does not, you will need to use a cable. Checkpoint: The earbuds case LED should indicate charging.
- 5. Keep the area clear and cool: Remove metal objects, credit cards, and keys from the charger surface. Do not stack devices. If the charger or devices become hot, unplug and let them cool before trying again. Checkpoint: After 10 minutes, all three devices should still be charging and only slightly warm.
