UTS-1 FAQs
Which thickness version should I choose and why?
Items to consider before choosing:
Table Thickness
- The thin and thick UTS-1 version's will depend on the thickness of your table - please measure your table and choose appropriately. if you are able to reduce your surface thickness, the thin version will be more efficient than the thick version, as wireless charging efficiency is higher at shorter ranges.
Phone Models
- Do you have an iPhone 12/13?
- iPhone 12/13 have use the MagSafe magnetic connection system which affects wireless charging performance when the distance between the phone is greater - for best results, please work to our 'Thin' specification surfaces.
- Camera Module thickness?
- Phone's camera modules add additional thickness. Devices with large cameras like iPhone 12 Pro Max, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, Samsung S21 Ultra 5G will increase the offset distance from the table and you will benefit more from choosing the thin version.
- Please only choose the correct thickness version for the dimensions you are able to create. For example - the thick version (0.7"-1.0") will not work on a table within the 'thin' parameters (0.39"-0.66"). This is because the standard unit is too powerful for short range charging. The unit will not turn on if this happens.
Is it compatiable with iPhone 12/13 MagSafe?
The UTS-1 is compatible with iPhone 12 and MagSafe designs up to 20mm (0.8"). iPhone 12/13 Pro/Max compatibility and performance may be reduced due to additional camera module thickness. We recommend choosing the 'thin' version for these models.
The presence of magnets in the iPhone 12/13 series creates more interference with our charging signal meaning the overall charging distance needs to be reduced to 10-20mm (0.39" - 0.80") to improve compatibility.
MagSafe iPhone charge times can vary significantly depending on camera module dimensions, placement accuracy and additional MagSafe Case usage. All MagSafe iPhone models enter a slower charging mode once the battery level exceeds 80% due to battery and software limitations set by Apple. A combination of these conditions may result in devices not being fully charged to 100% after a full overnight charge.
For best charging results please charge without a MagSafe case as this further increases magnetic interference and charging distance.
Support.Apple.com states the following:
- When charging a non-MagSafe Qi-compatible device with a MagSafe Charger, power is reduced and charge times may be slower than on a typical Qi charger.
- If your iPhone is connected to both a MagSafe Charger and power via a Lightning port, your iPhone will charge via the Lightning connector.
- As with other wireless chargers, your iPhone or MagSafe Charger might get slightly warmer while your iPhone charges. To extend the lifespan of your battery, if the battery gets too warm, software might limit charging above 80 percent.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes . Shipping is calculated at checkout but if shipping to your country does not show - please send us a message on social media or info@kewlabstech.com and we can help you.
Do you ship to PO boxes?
No - I'm afraid we cannot ship to PO Boxes
What is your returns policy?
Kew Labs operates a 30 day returns policy against all non-warranty claims. Fedex return shipping labels will be charged at $10 within the USA for non-warranty claims.
Kew Labs accepts international returns but bears no responsibility for overseas return shipping charges.
Is it compatiable with AirPods?
No it is not optimised for AirPods. The coils in the AirPods are too small for effective charging at long distances. With that said, distances below 20mm can achieve a reasonable charge.
What do I buy if if i have iPhone 12s and other iPhones in my household?
The key difference is the charging distance between iPhone 12 and all other iPhone models - if this is the case, please ensure your surface thickness is no greater than 20mm (0.80").
What should i choose if i have iPhone 12 and Androids in my household?
The UTS-1 will work for both types of devices. The key difference is the charging distance between iPhone 12 and all other Android's and iPhones - if this is the case, please ensure your surface thickness is no greater than 20mm (0.80")
UTS-1 TroubleshootinG
What does the flashing LED indicator on the charger mean?
- Please ensure the power adapter is plugged in all the way.
- If No 1. does achieve a solid light - please unplug and re-plug in the power cable to the unit.
- Please plug in the charger to a single point power (not a multi-plug extension cable) if it is not already so and check again.
- A flashing LED is therefore an electrical system fault error( please see LED indication section (Page 12) on the user instructions.
Why is my phone not charging
Please ensure:
- If you have a phone case, it is flat and does not contain any metal, centrally located magnets, card holders, pop sockets or kickstands.
- Ensure your phone is aligned as centrally as possible.
- Check if your phone is Qi wirelessly charging enabled.
- Check your sticker position through recalibration.
- Check your table thickness is within the stated performance range.
Why do the audio confirmation beeps take different amount of time?
The time taken to beep is determined by how accurately you have positioned your device. A center position will beep faster than a misaligned placement or at greater distances, i.e.
25mm (1.0”). Thicker cases can also cause longer recognition time and therefore longer time to beep. Recalibrate if necessary to improve sticker position or center your device on the sticker more accurately to get a better alignment.
25mm (1.0”). Thicker cases can also cause longer recognition time and therefore longer time to beep. Recalibrate if necessary to improve sticker position or center your device on the sticker more accurately to get a better alignment.
Why has my phone stopped charging?
The UTS-1 is designed to recognise and react to temperature changes within your phone which can occur after extra long charging periods of 3 hours or more. In these instances, the charger may enter a standby mode to allow your device to cool if required by your phone until the device requests more power. This feature ensures better battery health and longevity for your phone.
Why does my phone feel hot
Increased phone temperatures during wireless charging are normal during longer charging sessions. Our IPC™ technology is designed to minimise phone heating however, if your phone is hotter than usual, please ensure you have aligned it correctly and try again.
Can I switch the audio confirmation off?
Yes – if you would prefer or need to use the charger without the audio confirmation buzzer system, you are able to turn it off. However, without the audio confirmation, your phone is not necessarily charging just through the charging indication on your screen. If you choose to use the device without the buzzer, please ensure your alignment and setup is correct and accurate.
- To disable the buzzer.
- Switch your height toggle switch to calibration mode and switch back to your original height position and listen for the number of audio beeps
- Repeat again to disable or enable depending on preference.
Why do the charging speeds vary?
Different phone models have different battery sizes and charging profiles therefore take different amounts of time to charge, with large batteries especially taking longer. Charging speeds may also slow at ≥80% in IOS models due to Apple software requirements designed to limit battery deterioration during wireless charging.
The UTS-1 recognises IOS charging signals and corresponds by adapting charging speeds until your device requests more power. Please try turning OFF ‘Optimised Battery Charging’ in your ‘Settings’.
Charging speeds will also vary depending on the surface thickness. Thicker surfaces will reduce charging efficiency due to the greater distance the charging signal needs to travel.
How do you daisy chain my wireless chargers?
Two UTS-1 chargers can be connected in series using one adaptor and a connector cable but only through the dedicated daisy chain power adaptor which must be purchased separately. Please see product details here.

if you are experiencing performance issues with Samsung S20 / S21 / Ultra, please try these changes to see improvements.
Recalibration Template
Due to larger and more cameras in these models, Samsung has moved the coil position lower in these models. When placing the phone on the charging spot, please try to offset the position towards the bottom half of the phone. If you would prefer to try and recalibrate the sticker position for the future, we have an option to download and print new S20/S21/Ultra templates here.

I renovated our kitchen and wanted this type of ‘counter charger’ built in. I checked a few different sources/ stores and found lots of plugs and pop ups but no ‘invisible’ charging. I came across KewLabs and ordered the daisy chain version. I tested out on a few materials and then took it to the guy making my countertops( quartz) and he shaved down the underside to accommodate the distance. In the end it’s about .55 or .6 and it works! I cut out the wood cabinet under the quarts stone countertop and it’s working great. It’s truly amazing and so would highly recommend. Many people want to add it to their kitchen! It’s been in use for about 1 week and haven’t had any issues.

Great product!!!

Once the countertop space was set to be measured for fabrication, it occurred to me that it would be great if I could find a way to integrate charging into the countertop. After searching for ideas online I found Kew Labs. It looked like a great solution. I followed the directions online, and got additional help from support for everything I was not sure about. They were really helpful.
I asked our fabricators to create a cavity in the 2 spaces I wanted the chargers to go to make the marble a little thinner in those spots for better charging.
I ran the wires in the island cabinetry before the countertop was installed, and then hooked it all up (with the daisychain option) once the countertops were in. Super easy to do.
It’s completely unassuming! We do not use any of the stickers to indicate the location, instead, we memorized the veining of the marble as a target.
Bottom line is that it is a very cool feature in our new kitchen and most importantly, it is quite useful!
Highly recommended!!

Great customer support! Great product! Works as advertised! Easy install!!! Can’t say enough about how easy to purchase and install this solution is.
We are in the middle of a kitchen renovation. Upgrading all the technology in the house is a must for me! From hue lights to Alexa controlled fireplace and ceiling fan! Wireless charging in my island counter top seemed like a must!!! Our contractors were nervous about the installation and admitted they had never done before.
I looked online and found kewlabs.
Knew right away they were the right solution for our kitchen.
They provide templates documentation and decals!!!
We are so happy! Huge talking point when people visit and need to charge their phones.

I have a .75 inch plywood desktop so I ordered the thick version. I have tried using it on both low and high power and it doesn't seem to make a difference to the charging rate. It registers as fast wireless charging on my Samsung S22 ultra but it is not as fast as my Samsung fast wireless charger which is to be expected. The Samsung one charges at 25w while this one is at 9w. The problem is it heats up the phone rather quickly and that causes the charging rate to drop significantly. The first 25% seems to go at full speed, but anything more than that and it barely charges at all.
