5. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your DirectSync Cable:
- Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cable at sharp angles.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the cable and connectors with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Handling: Always grasp the connector head when plugging or unplugging the cable. Avoid pulling directly on the cable itself, as this can damage the internal wires or strain relief.
