Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and longevity of your adapter:
- Gently wipe the exterior of the adapter with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the adapter's finish or internal components.
- Ensure the USB-C connector and 3.5mm jack are free from dust and debris. You may use a small, soft brush or compressed air to carefully clean these ports if necessary.
Storage
When not in use, store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid bending or twisting the adapter excessively, especially at the connection points, to prevent internal damage.
Troubleshooting
Connectivity Issues with Device Cases
If you experience poor connectivity or the adapter does not function correctly, a thick device case may be interfering with the connection. If your phone case exceeds approximately 3mm in thickness, it might prevent the USB-C connector from fully seating into your device's port.
- Solution: Remove your phone case before using the adapter to ensure a secure and complete connection.

Sound Quality or Functionality Problems
- No Audio Output: Ensure both the USB-C connector and the 3.5mm audio jack are fully inserted. Verify that your device's volume is not muted or set too low. Confirm your device is compatible with USB-C audio adapters.
- Distorted Audio: Check if your headphones are fully plugged into the adapter. Test with another pair of headphones to rule out headphone issues. Ensure your device's audio settings are configured correctly.
- In-line Controls Not Working: Verify that your headphones' in-line controls are compatible with your device and the adapter. Some older headphones may have limited functionality.
