Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Keep the cable clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Always store the cable in its fully retracted, compact form when not in use. This prevents tangles and protects the cable from damage.
• Handling: When extending or retracting, pull both ends evenly and gently. Avoid applying excessive force or pulling only one end, as this can damage the internal retraction mechanism.
• Environment: Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or moisture.

  • Test Power Source/Port: Try connecting the miniSync cable to a different USB power adapter or a different USB-A port on your computer.
  • Device Compatibility: Confirm that your device is compatible with USB Type-C charging and data transfer.
  • Cable Integrity: Inspect the cable for any visible signs of damage. If damage is present, discontinue use.
