What you'll need

1. Review the design and place it in FreePower

When designing in FreePower, it’s critical you follow our placement guidelines to ensure technical execution and the best user experience. FreePower can add significant value to people’s lives, so it’s important to follow our placement guidelines to ensure it does.

Note: If placed incorrectly, the wireless charger can have installation issues and a poor user experience, leading to little or even no use once installed. 

2. Review the floorplans

When reviewing floorplans, you want to be sure that any surface someone might put their phone down on is a surface that you consider for FreePower.

3. Ensure you consider the most popular locations

The most common surfaces for FreePower tend to be the kitchen island overhang (in between the barstool seating), next to the kitchen sink, and in bathroom vanities. 

4. Placement based on ergonomics

FreePower has ergonomic guidelines for the placement of our chargers. These recommendations will help ensure the best experience with FreePower and maximum usage. You can learn more by visiting our detailed placement guidelines in the link below.

5. Confirm there are no placement issues

Once you’ve designed for ergonomics, you’ll want to confirm there are no issues with the placement. Some problems may include:

  1. Placement over pony walls or structures
  2. Placement over seams of the countertop material
  3. Placement over heat-generating appliances
  4. Placement where you may experience direct sunlight
  5. Placement over sealed-off locations
6. Review electrical requirements

FreePower plugs into a standard 110V outlet to make it hassle-free to power up. In your designs, you must ensure the following:

  1. FreePower should be placed within 5 feet of an outlet. If an outlet is further than 5 feet, you can purchase extension cables.
  2. If no outlets are nearby, an electrician should add them to the plans and install them before FreePower is installed.
