Maintenance
- Keep the charging station clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or moisture.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the unit yourself. Contact customer support if service is required.
- Ensure the charging pins on the dock and battery packs are clean and free of debris for optimal connection.
Troubleshooting
- Controller not charging / Red light flashing:
- Ensure the controller is properly seated on the charging dock and making full contact with the charging pins.
- Verify the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the Charge Base and the power source.
- Try a different USB power source or USB-C cable to rule out a faulty connection or cable.
- Check if the battery pack is correctly installed in the controller and the battery cover is securely attached.
- If only one side is flashing red or not charging, try swapping controllers or battery packs between the two docks to identify if the issue is with the controller/battery or the charging dock itself.
- Controller not recognized by the charging station:
- Ensure the battery pack and cover are specifically designed for the Nyko Charge Base and your Xbox controller model.
- Clean the charging contacts on both the controller battery pack and the charging dock with a dry cloth.
- Charge Base LEDs are off:
