Congratulations! You are holding the manual for the smart charging adapter, which helps blind people to be aware of charging process via sound, light and vibration notifications.

Today, if you put the device on charge, it is difficult to determine whether charging has started, whether it is fully charged, or not.

In the box you will find:

• USB Note
• User manual

The device will notify you:

• Whether the socket is working properly
• When your device starts charging
