6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BoxWave PD GaN miniCube charger, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Device not charging	Loose connection Faulty cable Wall outlet issue Incompatible device	Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the charger and the device. Try a different USB Type-C cable. Test the charger in a different wall outlet. Confirm your device is compatible with USB Power Delivery.
