5. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your UGREEN USB 3.0 to Type C cable:

• Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pulling on the cable, especially near the connectors. Always grasp the connector head when plugging or unplugging, not the cable itself.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Protection: Keep the connectors free from dust, dirt, and moisture.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your UGREEN USB 3.0 to Type C cable, try the following solutions:

• Device Not Charging:
  • Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected.
  • Verify that the power adapter or USB port you are using is functional and providing power.
  • Try using a different power adapter or USB port.
  • Test the cable with another compatible device to rule out a device-specific issue.
• Slow Charging:
  • Ensure your power adapter supports fast charging protocols (e.g., QC3.0, AFC, FCP) and provides sufficient amperage (e.g., 3A).
  • Confirm your device also supports fast charging.
  • Avoid charging from low-power USB ports (e.g., some older computer USB 2.0 ports).
• Data Transfer Not Working or Slow:
  • Ensure the USB-A end is connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer for optimal speeds. USB 2.0 ports will result in slower transfer rates.
  • Check that your device is set to "File Transfer" mode (or similar) when connected to a computer, rather than "Charging Only".
  • Restart both your computer and the connected device.
  • Try a different USB port on your computer.
• Cable Appears Damaged:

  Discontinue use immediately if the cable or connectors show signs of damage (e.g., fraying, exposed wires, bent pins). Using a damaged cable can be unsafe.
