Setup and Operation

Extending the Cable

To extend the PD miniSync cable, gently pull both ends of the cable simultaneously. The cable will lock into one of five pre-set lengths. Avoid pulling only one end, as this may cause the retraction mechanism to jam or damage the cable. The cable can extend up to 2.5 feet (approximately 76 cm) for ample reach.

Retracting the Cable

Once you are finished using the cable, give a quick, gentle tug on both ends of the cable. This action will release the locking mechanism, allowing the cable to fully retract into its miniature, compact form factor. The cable retracts to a minuscule 3 inches (approximately 7.6 cm) for easy portability.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BoxWave PD miniSync cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Proper Retraction: Always retract the cable by giving a quick, gentle tug on both ends simultaneously. Avoid forcing the retraction or pulling only one side, as this can damage the internal mechanism.
  • Cleanliness: Keep the cable and connectors clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: When not in use, keep the cable fully retracted to protect the cord and mechanism. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Its compact size makes it ideal for storage in pockets or bags.
  • Avoid Stress: Do not bend the cable sharply at the connectors or put excessive strain on the cable itself. The durable high-quality polycarbonate material and heavy-duty ribbon-style cable are built to last, but proper handling is essential.
