Operating Instructions

Once connected, the cable will facilitate charging or data transfer automatically, depending on the connected devices and their settings.

• Charging: When connected to a power source (e.g., wall adapter, power bank), your Apple device will begin charging. The charging indicator on your device will confirm this.
• Data Transfer/Syncing: When connected to a computer, your device may prompt you to "Trust This Computer." Follow the on-screen instructions to allow data transfer and syncing with applications like iTunes or Finder.
• Optimal Performance: For best charging results, use with a power adapter that provides at least 2.4 Amps (e.g., 12W USB power adapter).

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your cable.

• Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely. Avoid tight coiling or sharp bends, especially near the connectors, as this can damage the internal wires.
• Cleaning: If the cable or connectors become dirty, gently wipe them with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Handling: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable. Do not pull directly on the cable itself, as this can strain the connection points.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your cable, try the following steps:

• Cable Not Charging/Syncing:
  • Ensure both ends of the cable are fully and securely inserted into their respective ports.
  • Try using a different USB-A port or power adapter.
  • Test the cable with a different compatible device to rule out an issue with your device.
  • Check the Lightning port on your device for any debris or lint that might be obstructing the connection.
  • Restart your device and the connected computer/power source.
• Slow Charging:
  • Ensure you are using a power adapter that provides sufficient amperage (e.g., 2.4A or higher).
  • Avoid using the device heavily while it is charging.
• "Accessory Not Supported" Message:
  • This message can sometimes appear if the cable is not fully inserted or if there's debris in the port. Re-insert the cable firmly.
  • Ensure your device's software is up to date.
  • As the cable is MFi certified, this message is less likely but can occur with very old or damaged devices.

If problems persist after trying these steps, the cable may be damaged or defective. Please refer to the warranty information if applicable.
