Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PDP Gaming Charge Cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cable Management: Utilize the included cable management tie strap to keep the cable neatly coiled when not in use or during storage. This helps prevent tangles and reduces stress on the cable.
