- Insert the other USB-C connector into a compatible power source (e.g., wall charger, computer USB-C port) for charging, or into another device for data transfer.
Ensure the connectors are fully seated in the ports to establish a secure connection.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Charging
- Connect your device to a power source using the Hama USB-C cable as described in the Setup section.
- Ensure both your device and the power source are powered on.
- The cable supports fast charging. For optimal charging speeds, use a compatible fast charger that supports the power delivery requirements of your device.
- The charging status will typically be indicated on your device's screen or via an LED indicator.
4.2. Data Transfer
- Connect two compatible devices (e.g., smartphone to laptop) using the Hama USB-C cable.
- Once connected, your device's operating system will usually prompt you to select a connection mode. Choose the appropriate option for data transfer (e.g., 'File Transfer', 'MTP', 'PTP').
- The cable supports data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps. Actual speeds may vary depending on the capabilities of the connected devices and the type of data being transferred.
- Access the connected device's storage through your computer's file explorer or the respective application on your mobile device.
5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Hama USB-C cable.
- Storage: Store the cable in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive humidity. Avoid tightly coiling or knotting the cable.
- Cleaning: Disconnect the cable from all devices and power sources before cleaning. Wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the cable or its connectors.
- Handling: Always grasp the connector head when plugging or unplugging the cable. Avoid pulling on the cable itself, as this can strain the internal wires and lead to damage. Do not bend the cable sharply, especially near the connectors.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Hama USB-C cable, refer to the following common solutions:
- Cable not charging:
- Ensure both devices are properly connected and powered on.
- Verify that the power source (charger, computer port) is functional. Try a different power source or wall outlet.
- Check your device's charging port for any debris or damage.
- Test the cable with a different compatible device if possible.
- Cable not transferring data:
- Confirm that both connected devices recognize the connection.
- On your mobile device, ensure the correct data transfer mode (e.g., 'File Transfer', 'MTP') is selected in the notification panel.
- If connecting to a computer, ensure necessary drivers are installed and up-to-date.
- Try restarting both connected devices.
- Slow charging or data transfer:
- For charging, ensure you are using a compatible fast charger that supports the power delivery standards of your device.
- For data transfer, verify that both devices support the desired transfer speed. Older USB standards on one device may limit the speed.
- Close any unnecessary applications running in the background on your devices.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact Hama customer support.
