Common issues with BONDS 2 by IQOS.
Here’s a quick guide to help you fix common issues.
Charging issues.
If your BONDS 2 by IQOS device is not charging or charging too slowly:
• Check that you’re using a compatible AC power adaptor and charging cable.
• Avoid charging with a laptop or power bank.
• Ensure the USB ports of the device and accessories are clean. Blow gently to clear dust and contamination.
Note:
If the device is plugged in to charge while in cool down mode, the battery will not charge until it’s back within operating temperature range (0-40°C). Give it 4 minutes to cool down.
