To charge your IQOS Originals device, connect the USB cable to the pocket charger and plug it into a power source. The IQOS Originals One takes approximately 90 minutes for a full charge, while the IQOS Originals Duo charges in about 120 minutes. Both devices feature LED indicators that show the charging status and battery level.
If you've recently purchased an IQOS Originals device or are considering getting one, understanding how to properly charge it is essential for optimal performance. The IQOS Originals series includes two popular models: the Originals One and the Originals Duo. While both devices share similar charging principles, there are some differences in charging time and capacity that you should know about.
This guide will walk you through the step-by-step charging process for both models, helping you maintain your device's battery health and ensure it's always ready when you need it.
How to Charge IQOS Originals Duo
The IQOS Originals Duo is designed to hold two consecutive uses without recharging the holder between sessions. Here's how to charge it properly:
Step 1: Check the Battery Level
Before charging, press the button on your pocket charger to check the LED indicators. The Duo has four LED lights that display the current battery level.
Step 2: Connect the USB Cable
Take the USB cable that came with your IQOS Originals Duo and connect it to the charging port located at the bottom of the pocket charger.
Step 3: Plug Into Power Source
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the power adapter, then plug it into a wall outlet. You can also connect it directly to a computer or laptop USB port, though wall charging is faster.
Step 4: Monitor the Charging Status
While charging, the LED lights will pulse to indicate the device is charging. Each LED represents 25% of the battery capacity.
Step 5: Wait for Full Charge
Allow approximately 120 minutes (2 hours) for a complete charge from empty to full. You'll know it's fully charged when all four LEDs are solid and stop pulsing.
Step 6: Disconnect When Fully Charged
Once fully charged, disconnect the USB cable from the pocket charger. Your IQOS Originals Duo is now ready for use with two back-to-back sessions.
How to Charge IQOS Originals One
The IQOS Originals One allows for one use before the holder needs to be recharged in the pocket charger. Follow these steps to charge it:
Step 1: Verify Battery Status
Press the button on the pocket charger to check the battery status through the LED indicator lights. The Originals One typically features LED indicators that show remaining battery life.
Step 2: Insert the USB Cable
Connect the provided USB cable to the charging port on your IQOS Originals One pocket charger. Make sure the connection is secure.
Step 3: Connect to Power
Plug the USB cable into the AC power adapter and then into a wall socket. For optimal charging speed, always use the original IQOS charger and cable.
Step 4: Observe the LED Indicators
The LED lights will indicate the charging progress. They will pulse or blink during the charging process, showing that power is being delivered to the device.
Step 5: Complete the Charging Cycle
The IQOS Originals One requires approximately 90 minutes for a full charge. This is faster than the Duo model due to its smaller battery capacity.
Step 6: Unplug After Charging
When all LED indicators show a full charge (typically solid lights without pulsing), disconnect the charger from the device and power source.
Important Charging Tips for Both Models
Use Original Accessories: Always use the USB cable and power adapter that came with your device to ensure safe and efficient charging.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Don't charge your device in extremely hot or cold environments, as this can affect battery performance and longevity.
Regular Charging: It's best to charge your device when the battery is low rather than letting it completely drain every time.
Clean the Charging Port: Periodically check and clean the charging port to ensure a good connection and prevent charging issues.
Charging the Holder: Remember that the holder (the part that heats the tobacco stick) charges inside the pocket charger between uses. For the Duo, it can hold two charges, while the One holds a single charge.
By following these steps and tips, you'll ensure your IQOS Originals device remains in excellent condition and provides consistent performance every time you use it.
