3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Charging Your Device

Once connected to a power source, the DirectSync Cable will automatically begin charging your compatible device. The charging status is typically indicated on your device's screen.

3.2 Data Transfer

For data transfer, connect the USB-A end of the cable to a computer's USB port. Your device should appear as a removable storage drive or be recognized by relevant software. You can then transfer files such as GPS logs, maps, or other data at Hi-Speed USB 2.0 rates (up to 480Mbps).

4. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DirectSync Cable, please observe the following care guidelines:

• Avoid Kinks and Bends: Do not sharply bend or kink the cable, especially near the connectors. The cable features reinforced strain reliefs to minimize damage, but excessive force can still cause internal wire breakage.
• Proper Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely. Avoid tightly wrapping it around objects or tying it in knots.
• Clean Connectors: Keep the connectors free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth to gently wipe them if necessary.
• Handle with Care: Always pull from the connector housing, not the cable itself, when disconnecting.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DirectSync Cable, try the following solutions:

• Device Not Charging:
  • Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected.
  • Try a different USB port or power adapter.
  • Verify that your device's charging port is clean and undamaged.
  • Test the cable with another compatible device, if possible, to determine if the issue is with the cable or the device.
• Data Transfer Issues:
  • Confirm the cable is connected to a computer's data-enabled USB port (not just a charging port).
  • Restart both your device and the computer.
  • Check your device's settings to ensure it's configured for data transfer (e.g., "File Transfer" mode).
  • Try a different USB port on your computer.
• Cable Damage:

  Visually inspect the cable for any signs of physical damage, such as cuts, fraying, or bent connectors. A damaged cable should be replaced.
