5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the charger. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Storage: When not in use, ensure the retractable cable is fully retracted to prevent damage and keep your car tidy. Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Cable Care: Avoid excessive force when extending or retracting the cable. Do not yank the cable or allow it to snap back forcefully, as this can damage the retraction mechanism.
• Temperature: Do not expose the charger to extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

• Charger Not Powering On:
  • Ensure the car charger is fully inserted into the 12V power outlet.
  • Check if the vehicle's power outlet is functioning correctly (e.g., test with another device).
  • Verify the vehicle's ignition is on, as some outlets only receive power when the engine is running.
• Device Not Charging:
  • Confirm that your device is compatible with USB-C charging.
  • Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the charger and your device.
  • If using the additional USB-C port, try a different cable to rule out cable malfunction.
  • Restart your device.
• Slow Charging:
  • Ensure your device supports fast charging via USB-C Power Delivery.
  • Charging multiple devices simultaneously may distribute power, potentially reducing individual charging speeds.
  • Check the cable for any damage or wear.
• Cable Not Retracting/Extending Smoothly:
  • Avoid pulling the cable at an extreme angle. Pull directly outwards.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the cable from moving freely.
  • If the issue persists, contact customer support.
