Quick guide from the manual
This guide provides essential information for the safe and efficient use of your Xiaomi 120W Fast Charger. Always ensure your device is compatible with fast charging protocols such as USB Power Delivery (PD) or Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC) to utilize the full charging speed. Keep the charger dry, well-ventilated, and away from extreme temperatures.
Product Overview
The charger features a standard AC plug (folding or non-folding depending on the region), one or more USB-C output ports, and a status indicator LED that illuminates when connected to power.
Specifications
- Model: 120W Charger
- Input: AC 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz
- Total Output: 120W Max
- Protocols: USB Power Delivery (PD), Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC), and other common fast charging protocols
- Output Details: Supports various voltages including 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, and 20V/6A (120W Max)
Usage Instructions
- Plug the charger firmly into a compatible AC wall outlet.
- Connect the provided USB-C cable (or a high-quality cable rated for 120W) to the charger's USB-C port.
- Connect the other end of the cable to your device (smartphone, laptop, or tablet).
- The device screen or indicator will typically display a fast charging symbol (e.g., Fast Charging, SuperCharge, or PD Charging) when active.
- Once charging is complete, disconnect the cable from your device first, then unplug the charger from the wall outlet.
Important Notes
- Cable Requirements: To achieve 120W charging, you must use a USB-C cable that supports 6A current and includes an E-Mark chip. Standard cables may limit power.
- Device-Limited Speed: The actual charging speed is controlled by your device's battery management system. It will only draw the power it is designed to handle.
- Multiple Devices: When charging multiple devices simultaneously, the total output power is dynamically allocated, which may decrease the maximum speed for a single device.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, check the following:
- Not charging: Ensure all connections at the outlet, charger, and device are secure.
- Charging slowly: This is normal if the device does not support the maximum wattage; the device negotiates the safe maximum power it can accept.
- Overheating: If the charger becomes excessively hot, unplug it immediately, let it cool down in a well-ventilated area, and check for obstructions.
- Incompatible cable: Always use the provided or a certified high-wattage USB-C cable.
