Learn how to set up and use the Yoto Wireless Charging Dock (3rd Generation) for convenient, screen-free charging at home or while traveling.

Quick answer

The Yoto Wireless Charging Dock (3rd Generation) lets you power your Yoto Player without plugging a cable into the device itself. Set it up in seconds and create extra charging zones around your home or take it on holiday for easy travel charging.

Why use a dedicated charging dock?

A wireless charging dock eliminates the need to fumble with a cable every time your Yoto Player runs low. It also lets you create multiple charging stations so your child always has a powered Player ready in their room, the playroom, or the kitchen. The 3rd Generation dock is designed specifically for the current Yoto Player and includes a tethered USB-C cable that stays attached, making it easy to pack for trips without losing the cord.

Compatibility note

This dock works only with the Yoto Player (3rd Generation). It is not compatible with the Yoto Mini or the Yoto Player (2nd Generation). Before purchasing, check the bottom of your Player for the generation label to ensure a proper fit.

Setting up your Yoto Wireless Charging Dock

1. Connect the dock to power: Plug the tethered USB-C cable into a USB-A power adapter (sold separately) or a USB port on a computer. The dock does not include a wall adapter, so use one you already own that provides at least 5V/1A. Using a low-power port may charge slowly. For best results, use a standard phone charger.
2. Place the dock on a flat surface: Set the dock on a stable, non-metallic surface away from liquids. The dock has a non-slip base, but avoid placing it on uneven or soft surfaces like bedding that could block airflow. Metal objects under the dock can interfere with wireless charging. Keep coins or keys away.
3. Align your Yoto Player on the dock: Set your Yoto Player (3rd Generation) onto the dock so the bottom of the Player sits flat against the charging surface. The Player will chime and show a charging indicator on the screen. If nothing happens, lift and reposition the Player. A thick case or sticker on the bottom of the Player may prevent charging. Remove any obstacles for a solid connection.
4. Confirm charging status: Look for the battery icon on the Player screen to show a lightning bolt or animated fill. You can also tap the top button to wake the screen and check the battery level. If the Player doesn't charge after repositioning, try a different power adapter or USB port to rule out a power source issue.
5. Create additional charging zones: Buy extra docks for rooms where your child uses the Player most. Keep one in the playroom and another in the bedroom so the Player is always ready to go. The dock is compact enough to pack in a suitcase for holidays. Label each dock with a sticker or tape if you have multiple units, so you know which cable goes where.
