This feature was created with the hotel guest in mind. When the alarm is set and sounds at a particular time, the user presses the knob to turn the alarm off, the alarm time is not saved and will not sound the next day at the same time. This is to prevent alarms inadvertently sounding in hotel rooms when the room is not occupied. If you prefer that the clock hold the alarm time from day to day, there is a Single Day Alarm switch under the battery door that you can change to Single Day Alarm “OFF"

What is Qi wireless charging?
Qi is the wireless charging standard the WPC (Wireless Power Consortium) has developed based on inductive charging technology that was discovered by Nikolas Tesla in the late 1800s. It uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two induction coils- a transmitter on the charging station and a receiver on the mobile device. The WPC Qi certification ensures products are tested and certified to the highest quality standard and are not counterfeit products. The WPC also tests products for interoperability to ensure Qi products will work together. To read more about Qi, go to: https://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/blog/288/the-value-of-qi-certification

Why do I need a wireless charger for my hotel guest room?
With top manufacturers including Apple, Samsung and LG adopting the Qi wireless standard, the number of mobile devices with wireless chargers built in will continue to increase. According to market research firm, Allied Market Research the global wireless charging market could grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 38.7% during 2018-2025. The adoption of wireless chargers will allow for a more user-friendly experience for your hotel guests.

What is the Difference Between a Circuit Breaker and a GFCI - (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)?
Some of Brandstand’s products (Cubie, CubieSoho, CubieMod, CubieDash, CubieFlip) incorporate a circuit breaker. A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and interrupt current flow. Circuit breakers and GFCI both interrupt the circuit current, but GFCI is more sensitive and smarter. A circuit breaker will trip only when the current is over its capacity, but a GFCI compares the currents going out and coming back to identify any leakage from the circuit. If there is any leakage at all, the GFCI will trip. GFCIs are used primarily in wet areas, for instance near swimming pools and in bathrooms.
-
Is it normal for the top of the CubieDuo or CubieTrio and my phone to be warm after charging?
Yes, It is normal that the CubieDuo / CubieTrio and your phone may feel warm. It is designed to operate within a temperature range that will not damage the phone. There is a thermal protection circuit built into the device that will cease the wireless charging if the device becomes too hot. The product has been tested and verified by our safety testing agency, Intertek to the Wireless Power Consortium standards for fast charge 15W wireless charging. Brandstand is a member of the Wireless Power Consortium.
For your reference, this is what Samsung says on their website about this question:
While charging, the device and the charger* may become hot. During wireless charging or fast charging, the device may feel hotter to the touch. This does not affect the device’s lifespan or performance and is in the device’s normal range of operation. If the battery becomes too hot, Samsung charger may stop charging.
-
Why does my wireless charger stop charging?
Inductive charging loses energy in the form of heat during the charging process. Major cellphone manufacturers (Apple, Samsung, etc.) have designed power management circuits into their phones to protect the phone from over heating. The phones will turn the charging off to prevent damage to the phone.
-
Why doesn't my CubieVia surge light look "On"
The hole diameter is very small. It was intentionally designed this way to prevent the green light from illuminating the hotel room.
-
Why doesn't my wireless charger seem to charge?
Be sure your phone is centered on the wireless charging logo. That is the target and it must be aligned with it.
