Set up your UMAGE Charging Trolley and plates in the right order, then charge up to 45 portable lamps without guessing which plate goes where.
Quick answer
Set up the Charging Trolley by placing the plates on the trolley first, then connect power and place compatible portable lamps on the plates. Check that each lamp sits flat and the plate is fully seated before charging.
Why plate placement matters more than trolley assembly
The trolley is the frame; the plates do the charging. UMAGE states that each plate can wirelessly charge up to 15 portable lamps, and the full setup supports up to 45 lamps at once. That capacity only works if the plates are seated correctly and lamps are placed on the charging area rather than at the plate edge.
If you skip the plate check, a lamp may sit slightly off the charging coil and not charge, even though the trolley looks ready. Treat each plate as its own charging station and verify it before loading all three.
Which lamps belong on the trolley
The Charging Trolley is designed for quick charging of Orbit, Asteria Move, Asteria Glass Move and Asteria Move Mini lamps. These are portable lamps, so the trolley is a charging station rather than a permanent display stand for every lamp in your home.
Keep non-compatible lamps off the plates. If a lamp is not listed as compatible, do not assume it will charge wirelessly just because it fits on the plate.
Where the trolley works best at home
Place the trolley where you can reach it without moving it often, and where a power connection is available. Because it can hold multiple lamps, it suits a hallway, utility room, or dedicated charging corner better than a narrow walkway.
Avoid treating the trolley as a shelf for drinks, keys, or other metal objects. The plates are charging surfaces, and clutter makes it harder to see whether a lamp is properly seated.
Step-by-step charging trolley setup and use
- Unpack and inspect the trolley and plates: Check that all plates are present and free of visible damage before assembly. Common mistake: assembling the trolley first and only then noticing a missing or damaged plate. Confirm plate count before you start; a missing plate changes how many lamps you can charge.
- Assemble the trolley frame: Build the trolley according to its supplied instructions and place it on a level floor. Checkpoint: the frame should not wobble when you press lightly on the top. A level, stable trolley prevents lamps from sliding off the plates.
- Seat each plate on the trolley: Place each plate in its position and press gently to ensure it sits flat. Common mistake: leaving a plate loose or misaligned, which can stop lamps from charging reliably. Run your hand across each plate edge to confirm it is flush before charging.
- Connect power and test one plate: Plug in the trolley and place a single compatible lamp on one plate. Check that the lamp begins charging before loading more lamps. Common mistake: filling all plates at once and not knowing which plate is not working. Test one lamp per plate before charging a full batch.
- Load compatible lamps within capacity: Place only Orbit, Asteria Move, Asteria Glass Move, or Asteria Move Mini lamps on the plates, up to 15 per plate. Common mistake: exceeding the per-plate limit or mixing in incompatible lamps. Keep each plate at or below 15 lamps and use only listed models.
- Check charging status before leaving: Confirm that each lamp is positioned on the charging area and shows charging. Common mistake: assuming a lamp is charging because it is on the plate. If a lamp does not charge, lift and reposition it before assuming the plate is faulty.
Product facts
- Charging Trolley & Plates: Each plate can wirelessly charge up to 15 portable lamps, and the full setup supports up to 45 lamps at once. This capacity lets you charge a whole collection of compatible portable lamps in one place instead of rotating them one by one.
