Operating Instructions
Charging and Data Synchronization:
The inCharge 6 supports both charging and data synchronization across various device combinations. Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected for proper function.

- USB-C to Lightning: For charging and syncing Apple Lightning devices from a USB-C power source.
- USB-C to Micro USB: For charging and syncing Micro USB devices from a USB-C power source.
- USB-A to USB-C: For charging and syncing USB-C devices from a traditional USB-A power source.
- USB-A to Lightning: For charging and syncing Apple Lightning devices from a traditional USB-A power source.
- USB-A to Micro USB: For charging and syncing Micro USB devices from a traditional USB-A power source.

Power Transfer (OTG Charging):
The inCharge 6 supports On-The-Go (OTG) power transfer, allowing you to charge one device from another. This feature is particularly useful for providing a quick power boost to smaller devices like wireless earbuds or another smartphone.
- To use OTG charging, connect the USB-C end of the inCharge 6 to the device that will supply power (e.g., a USB-C smartphone or tablet).
- Connect the other end (USB-C, Lightning, or Micro USB) to the device you wish to charge.
- Important Note: For power transfer, the USB-A adapter end must be connected to the device supplying the power. If the host device is Lightning or Micro-USB, OTG power transfer will not function unless the receiving device has its own separate power source.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Rolling Square inCharge 6 cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cable and connectors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the finish or internal components.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the cable and allow the magnetic ends to secure it in its compact form. Store it in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Handling: While the inCharge 6 is designed to be ultra-tough with durable zinc-aluminum alloy housing and a braided exterior, avoid excessive force when connecting or disconnecting. Do not bend the cable sharply at the connectors.
- Protection: Keep the connectors free from dust, lint, and moisture. The magnetic closure helps protect the ends when stored.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your inCharge 6 cable, try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Device Not Charging/Syncing:
- Ensure both ends of the cable are fully and securely plugged into the power source and the device.
- Verify that the power source is active and providing power. Try a different power source or wall adapter.
- Check if the device's charging port is clean and free of debris.
- Try connecting a different device to confirm if the issue is with the cable or the original device.
- For data syncing, ensure your computer recognizes the connected device.
- Slow Charging:
- Ensure you are using a power adapter with sufficient output (e.g., 15W or higher for faster charging).
- Some power sources (like older computer USB ports) may provide lower power, resulting in slower charging.
- The inCharge 6 is not a Power Delivery (PD) or high-speed charging capable cable. Charging speeds will be standard.
- OTG Power Transfer Not Working:
- Confirm that the USB-C end is connected to the device intended to supply power.
- Ensure the receiving device is compatible with OTG charging.
- Remember that if the host device is Lightning or Micro-USB, OTG power transfer to another device is generally not supported by the cable itself without an external power source for the receiving device.
- Physical Damage:
- Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible signs of damage, such as fraying, bent pins, or cracks. Discontinue use if damage is found.
