4.1 Charging Your Device

Once the cable is correctly connected to a compatible USB-C power adapter and your device, charging will commence automatically. For optimal fast charging performance (up to 50W), it is recommended to use an original USB-C wall charger or a high-quality charger that supports Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 or USB Power Delivery (PD).

4.2 Data Transfer

When connected to a computer or other host device equipped with a USB-C port, the cable facilitates data transfer at speeds up to 5Gbps. Ensure your device is unlocked and configured to allow data transfer if prompted by the operating system.

5. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Tek Styz USB-C cable.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the cable with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the cable's insulation or connectors.
• Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. When coiling the cable, do so loosely to prevent kinks and stress on the internal wires. Avoid sharp bends or excessive force on the connectors.
• Handling: Always grasp the connector head when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself. This prevents damage to the internal wiring and connector integrity.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Tek Styz USB-C cable, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

6.1 Device Not Charging

• Check Connections: Ensure both ends of the USB-C cable are securely and fully inserted into your device and the power adapter.
• Verify Power Source: Confirm that your power adapter is functioning correctly and is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
• Charger Compatibility: Ensure your power adapter supports USB-C Power Delivery (PD) or Quick Charge (QC) for fast charging. Lower wattage chargers may charge slowly or not at all for high-power devices.
• Test with Another Device/Charger: If possible, test the cable with a different compatible device or a different USB-C charger to determine if the issue lies with the cable, device, or charger.

6.2 Slow Charging Speed

• Charger Output: Verify that your charger provides sufficient wattage (up to 50W) and supports fast charging protocols (QC 2.0/3.0, USB PD).
• Device Usage: Intensive use of your device while charging (e.g., gaming, video streaming) can slow down the charging process.
• Battery Condition: Charging speeds can vary depending on the device's battery level and overall health.

6.3 Data Transfer Issues

• Device Permissions: Ensure your device is unlocked and has granted necessary permissions for data transfer to the connected computer.
• Host Port Functionality: Verify that the computer's USB-C port is functional and supports data transfer.
• Restart Devices: Try restarting both your device and the computer to resolve temporary software glitches.
