3. Setup

1. Extend the Cable: Gently pull both ends of the cable simultaneously to extend it to the desired length. The cable will lock at various intervals. Do not pull only one side, as this can damage the retraction mechanism.
2. Connect to Power Source: Plug the USB-A end of the cable into a compatible USB power adapter, computer USB port, or power bank.
3. Connect to Device: Select the appropriate connector (Lightning, USB-C, or Micro-USB) and plug it into your device's charging port.

4. Operating Instructions

• Charging Multiple Devices: The MINLU Multi Charging Cable 4A allows you to charge up to four devices simultaneously. Connect each device to its corresponding connector. Note that the 4.0A total output is shared among all connected devices, which may result in slower charging speeds when multiple devices are connected concurrently.
• Data Transfer (Lightning Only): To transfer data or use Apple CarPlay, connect an iOS device to one of the Lightning connectors and the USB-A end to a computer or compatible car system. Data transfer is not supported by the USB-C or Micro-USB connectors.
• Retracting the Cable: To retract the cable, gently pull both ends slightly further until the locking mechanism releases, then allow it to retract slowly and evenly.
