6. Troubleshooting

• Device Not Charging/Syncing:
  • Ensure your device has a 3.5mm charging port, not just an audio (AUX) port. This cable is not for audio transmission.
  • Verify that the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into your device.
  • Check that the USB end is securely connected to a functional power source or computer USB port.
  • Confirm your device is compatible with this type of charging/sync cable (refer to Section 3).
• Slow Data Transfer:
  • Ensure your computer's USB port is functioning correctly.
  • The actual transfer speed may vary depending on the device, computer, and file sizes.
• Cable Damage: Inspect the cable for any visible signs of damage, such as frayed wires or bent connectors. Discontinue use if damage is found.

7. Maintenance

• Store the cable in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
• Avoid bending or twisting the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
• Do not pull the cable by the cord; always grasp the connector when plugging or unplugging.
• Keep the connectors free from dust and debris.
