Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the proper use and maintenance of your GreatPowerDirect USB PC Charging Cable. This cable is designed for charging and connecting your Anker SoundCore Mini A3101 and A3102 speakers to a personal computer or a compatible USB power source.
Setup
Follow these steps to set up your USB charging cable:
- Identify Connectors: The cable features a standard USB Type-A connector on one end and a Micro-USB connector on the other.
- Connect to Power Source/PC: Insert the USB Type-A end of the cable into a compatible USB port on your computer, a USB wall adapter, or a power bank.
- Connect to Speaker: Insert the Micro-USB end of the cable into the charging port of your Anker SoundCore Mini A3101 or A3102 speaker. Ensure the connection is firm.

Operating Instructions
Once connected, the cable facilitates two primary functions:
- Charging: When connected to a power source, the cable will supply power to your Anker SoundCore Mini speaker, initiating the charging process. The speaker's charging indicator (if present) will typically illuminate to confirm charging.
- Data Connection: When connected to a personal computer, the cable allows for data transfer between the computer and the speaker, if the speaker supports this functionality. Refer to your speaker's manual for specific data transfer instructions.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the lifespan of your charging cable:
- Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cable at sharp angles, as this can damage internal wires.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the cable with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure connectors are free of dust and debris.
- Handling: Always grasp the connector head when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cord itself.
