Setup and Usage
Extending and Retracting the Cable
To extend the cable, gently pull both ends simultaneously until the desired length is reached. The cable extends up to 2.6 feet (0.8 meters). To retract, pull both ends slightly further, then release. The cable will automatically retract into its housing. Do not pull only one end, as this can damage the retraction mechanism.

- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the cable and connectors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the cable in its fully retracted state when not in use to protect the cable and mechanism. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Stress: Do not bend the cable sharply at the connectors or apply excessive force when plugging/unplugging.
