3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Charging Your Devices
The mcdodo CA-3611 cable supports Power Delivery (PD) up to 100W, enabling rapid charging for various USB-C devices. The built-in E-marker chip intelligently identifies the connected device and adjusts the current and voltage for safe and efficient charging.
- Fast Charging: When connected to a compatible 100W PD power source, the cable can charge devices like the MacBook Pro 2022 to 100% in approximately 2 hours, or an iPad mini 6 to 91% in 1.5 hours.
- Real-time Power Display: The digital display on the connector shows the current power (in Watts) being drawn by your device. Note that this display indicates the power flow from the source, not the battery percentage of your device.

3.2 Intelligent Auto Power-Off
This cable features an intelligent auto power-off function designed to protect your device's battery and extend its lifespan.
- The cable will automatically stop charging approximately 30 minutes after your device reaches a full charge (100%).
- After 2 hours, it will automatically re-engage charging to top up the battery if needed, preventing overcharging and reducing battery degradation.
- If you are actively using your phone while it is charging, the auto power-off function will not activate to ensure continuous power supply.

4. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your mcdodo CA-3611 cable, please follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Avoid Extreme Bending: While the cable features a reinforced SR design and nylon braid for durability, avoid sharp or extreme bends, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal damage.
- Keep Clean: Regularly wipe the cable and connectors with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Proper Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the cable and connectors for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Discontinue use if any damage is observed.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your mcdodo CA-3611 cable, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Cable is not charging:
- Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected to the power source and the device.
- Verify that the power adapter is functioning correctly and is compatible with your device's charging requirements.
- Test the cable with a different device or power adapter to isolate the issue.
- Charging is slow:
- Confirm that your power adapter supports Power Delivery (PD) and can output at least 100W for maximum charging speed.
- Check if your device supports 100W fast charging. Some devices may have lower maximum charging rates.
- Ensure no background applications are consuming excessive power on your device during charging.
- Digital display is not showing power or is incorrect:
- The display shows the real-time power (Watts) being drawn by the device, not the battery percentage.
- Ensure the cable is properly connected and charging is active.
- If the display remains blank or shows erratic readings, try reconnecting the cable or using a different power source.
- Data transfer is not working or is slow:
- Verify that both connected devices support data transfer via USB-C.
- Ensure the cable is securely connected to both devices.
- Check device settings for any data transfer restrictions.
