A power transmitting device includes: a power transmitting unit (240) that contactlessly transmits alternating-current power to be transmitted to a power receiving unit (310) of a vehicle (1); a camera (280) that detects a positional relationship between the power transmitting unit and the power receiving unit; and a power supply ECU (250). The power supply ECU is configured to perform an "alignment process" performing a process using the positional relationship detected by the camera for aligning the power receiving unit with the power transmitting unit, and a "power transmission function check process" causing the power transmitting unit to output a checking power to check whether a power transmission function of the power transmitting unit functions properly. When wireless communication is established with the vehicle, the power supply ECU initially performs the alignment process, and after it is determined that the alignment process completes alignment, the power supply ECU performs the power transmission function check process.
