Operating Instructions
Charging Your Device:
Once connected to a power source, the DirectSync cable will automatically begin charging your compatible device. The charging speed will depend on the power output of your adapter and the charging capabilities of your device.
Transferring Data:
When connected to a computer, your device should appear as a removable storage device or prompt you to select a connection mode (e.g., "File Transfer," "PTP"). Select the appropriate mode to access and transfer files between your device and computer. The USB 3.1 standard supports high-speed data transfers.

Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your DirectSync cable.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the cable and connectors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- 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 to prevent internal damage.
- 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.
