- Connect to Power Source: Connect the standard USB-A end of the cable to a compatible 5V DC power source. This can be a USB port on your PlayStation 4 console, a desktop computer, or a dedicated USB wall adapter (not included).

- Charging Indication: The LED indicator on the controller (or the dock, if applicable) will typically illuminate to indicate that charging has begun. Refer to your PS4 controller's manual for specific LED behavior during charging.
- Charging Time: Charging time may vary depending on the controller's battery level and the power source. Charging two controllers simultaneously may extend the charging duration compared to charging a single controller.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the charging dock, disconnect it from the power source. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the charging dock in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts, which can damage internal components.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Controller not charging | Loose connection; Insufficient power; Damaged cable/dock; Controller issue | Ensure controller is seated correctly. Try a different USB port or power adapter. Check cable for damage. Test with another controller. |
| Slow charging | Low current power source; Charging two controllers simultaneously | Use a power source with higher current output (e.g., 5V/2A adapter). Charge one controller at a time if faster charging is needed. |
| Dock not powering on | No power; Faulty cable/dock | Verify power source is active. Try a different USB cable. Ensure the cable is fully inserted into the dock. |
