2. Setup and Connection
2.1 Connecting the Auxiliary Cable
- Identify Audio Ports: Locate the 3.5mm audio output port on your source device (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player) and the 3.5mm audio input port on your destination device (e.g., car stereo, speaker system). These ports are typically labeled as 'AUX OUT', 'HEADPHONE', or 'AUX IN'.
- Connect Cable Ends: Insert one end of the Scosche I335 auxiliary cable into the 3.5mm audio output port of your source device.
- Secure Connection: Insert the other end of the auxiliary cable into the 3.5mm audio input port of your destination device. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted for a secure connection.

2.2 Using the Extension Adapter
The included extension adapter allows for increased cable length or conversion of one male end to a female port, enabling connection to another 3.5mm male cable.
- Connect Cable to Adapter: Insert one male end of the Scosche I335 auxiliary cable into one end of the extension adapter.
- Connect Second Cable (Optional): If extending the cable, connect another 3.5mm male-to-male cable into the other end of the extension adapter.
- Connect to Device: Connect the remaining free end of the cable setup to your audio device.

3. Operating Instructions
Once the auxiliary cable is securely connected between your audio source and destination devices:
- Select Input: On your destination device (e.g., car stereo, home receiver), select the 'AUX' or 'Line-In' input source. Refer to your device's manual for specific instructions on input selection.
- Play Audio: Begin playing audio from your source device.
- Adjust Volume: Adjust the volume on both your source device and destination device to achieve the desired audio level. It is often recommended to set the source device's volume to about 75-80% of its maximum and then control the main volume from the destination device.
4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care of your auxiliary cable will ensure its longevity and optimal performance:
- Avoid Sharp Bends: Do not bend the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, as this can damage the internal wiring.
- Store Properly: When not in use, coil the cable loosely and store it in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
- Clean Connectors: If connectors appear dirty, gently wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Handle with Care: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Scosche I335 auxiliary cable, try the following solutions:
- No Sound:
- Ensure both ends of the cable are fully inserted into their respective ports.
- Verify that the correct input source (AUX/Line-In) is selected on your destination device.
- Check the volume levels on both the source and destination devices.
- Test the cable with different devices to rule out an issue with the cable itself or the connected devices.
- Poor Sound Quality (Static, Distortion, Low Volume):
- Ensure all connections are secure and free from debris.
- Adjust the volume levels on both devices; sometimes setting the source volume too high or too low can cause distortion.
- Check if the cable is damaged (e.g., visible fraying, kinks).
- Ensure the cable is not running near strong electromagnetic interference sources.
- Cable Does Not Fit:
- Confirm that both devices have standard 3.5mm audio jacks. This cable is not compatible with other jack sizes (e.g., 2.5mm, 6.35mm).
- If using a phone case, ensure it does not obstruct the 3.5mm port, preventing full insertion of the connector.
