Operating Instructions
The Vikefon Micro USB cable facilitates two primary functions:
- Charging: When connected to a power source (e.g., wall adapter, power bank), the cable delivers power to your device's battery. Charging speed may vary based on the power source's output and the device's charging capabilities.
- Data Transfer: When connected to a computer, the cable enables the transfer of files (photos, videos, documents) between your device and the computer. Ensure your device is unlocked and set to 'File Transfer' mode if prompted.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Vikefon Micro USB cable, observe the following guidelines:
- Handle with Care: Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, as this can damage internal wires.
- Clean Connectors: Periodically inspect and gently clean the connectors with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or debris that may hinder connection.
- Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tangling the cable.
- Avoid Force: Do not force the connectors into ports. If a connection feels tight, recheck the orientation.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your cable, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Device not charging | Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Try a different power adapter or USB port. Check if the device's charging port is clean and free of debris. Test with another cable if available to rule out device issues. |
| Slow charging | Verify that the power adapter provides sufficient output (e.g., 2A for faster charging). Avoid using the device heavily while charging. |
| Data transfer not working | Ensure your device is unlocked and set to 'File Transfer' or 'MTP' mode when connected to a computer. Try a different USB port on your computer. Restart both your device and computer. |
