Tests 1 and 2 validate the Threshold_max setting in EPP devices. The critical section tests (3 through 6) validate
the Q factor and threshold settings. Refer to
for details of the tools required for the Qi-recommended
validation test setup, test procedure and pass criteria.
Free-air FO can be tested by placing a US nickel or an Indian 2 coin on the interface at the center of the coil.
This should be indicated by the FO UI (user manual for FO indication).
