Simply plug in the DOCK using the provided USB-C cable, and set the DROP on top. When the DOCK is correctly powered and plugged in, the white LED in the middle of the DOCK will illuminate. Once the DROP is set atop the DOCK, the LED halo will also temporarily illuminate to show that it has been correctly docked and will begin charging. You can place your phone on top during this recharging process so that both devices can recharge simultaneously. If you still have a question regarding setup or use, please consult the manual and follow the step-by-step instructions. You can also email us directly and our support team will do our best to guide you through any additional issues.
