4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DirectSync PD Cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Storage: Store the cable in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cable at sharp angles.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the cable with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Handling: Always grasp the connector head when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself. This helps prevent damage to the internal wires and strain relief.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DirectSync PD Cable, consider the following:
- Device Not Charging:
- Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected.
- Verify that the power adapter or source is functioning correctly and provides sufficient power for your device.
- Test the cable with another compatible device or power source to rule out issues with the cable itself.
- Slow Charging:
- Confirm that your power adapter supports Power Delivery (PD) and provides adequate wattage for fast charging.
- Some devices may limit charging speed if they are in heavy use or if their battery is near full capacity.
- Data Transfer Issues:
- Ensure both devices (e.g., computer and smartphone) are properly recognized and configured for data transfer.
- Check your device's settings for USB connection preferences (e.g., 'File Transfer' mode).
- Try connecting to a different USB-C port on your computer.
- Physical Damage: Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible signs of damage, such as fraying, bent pins, or cracks. Discontinue use if damage is found.
