3. Operating Instructions

Charging Your Device:

Once the cable is properly connected to a power source and your device, charging will begin automatically. The charging speed may vary depending on the power adapter used and the device's battery status.

• For optimal charging, use a certified USB power adapter.
• Avoid using damaged power adapters or ports.

Data Transfer:

To transfer data, connect the USB-A end of the cable to a computer's USB port and the Lightning end to your device. Your computer should recognize the device, allowing you to sync files, photos, and other data through appropriate software (e.g., iTunes for Apple devices).

• Ensure your computer's operating system and device drivers are up to date for seamless data transfer.
• Follow on-screen prompts on your device or computer to authorize data access.

4. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your HOCO X14 Charging Cable.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the cable and connectors with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• 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, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
• Handling: Always grasp the connector head when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself. This prevents strain on the cable-connector junction.
• Safety: Do not use the cable if it appears damaged (frayed, exposed wires, bent connectors). Discontinue use immediately if the cable or your device becomes excessively hot during charging.

  • Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected.
  • Try a different USB power adapter or USB port on your computer.
  • Test the cable with a different compatible device, if available.
  • Check the charging port on your device for any debris or damage.
• Slow Charging:
  • Ensure you are using a power adapter with adequate output (e.g., 5V/2A for faster charging).
  • Avoid using your device heavily while it is charging.
  • Close unnecessary background applications on your device.
• Data Transfer Issues:
  • Ensure your computer recognizes the device. You may need to unlock your device and tap "Trust This Computer."
