Yes, they are compatible. You can charge your IQOS ILUMA i PRIME™ Holder in IQOS ILUMA i™ Pocket Charger and vice versa. The charging cable and AC Power Adaptor are the same.

Use a 3rd party Certified AC Power Adaptor (5V 2A with the safety certification mark – widely available in major convenience stores)

ensure that the charging port of the device is clean and does not have dirt, particles, or dust in it.

Before the first use, fully charge the Pocket Charger with a compatible AC Power Adaptor (5V, 2A, Type C output) and C-type charging cable from an electrical outlet.

A full charge takes approx. 135 min (2h 15 min).

You can charge the Pocket Charger with or without the Holder inserted.

It can take up to 10 minutes to fully charge the Holder for the first time (after opening the packaging) or after a long period of inactivity. This is normal.

The Pocket Charger does not require a full charge to work, however we recommend to fully charge it before the first use.

To charge your Holder, insert the Holder into Pocket Charger, and close Wrap to charge. Holder Status Light will show Holder battery level.

To check the charge level of the Pocket Charger, short press the Pocket Charger Button. Status Lights will turn ON to indicate battery level:

o   4 LEDs = more than 75% charged

o   1 LED = less than 25%.

o   1 LED orange triple blink = battery depleted. Need to charge.

To check the Holder Status - tilt Holder towards you or short press the Touch Screen. Holder Status Lights will show Holder battery level.

If the battery is depleted, the Touch Screen will show the sign as below (zero inside the light ring and no lights on the light ring)
