Quick guide from the manual

This document provides essential instructions for the safe and effective use of your Xiaomi data cable. It covers proper charging procedures, data transfer steps, and critical maintenance guidelines to ensure the longevity of the cable and connected devices.

Charging Instructions

To charge your device safely, follow these steps:

• Inspect the data cable connector to ensure it is undamaged and free of stains.
• Verify that your power adapter meets safety standards and matches the cable's rated parameters.
• Insert the USB-A or USB-C end of the cable into the power adapter.
• Insert the other end (Type-C, Lightning, etc.) into your device.
• Once connected, the device should display a charging indicator.
• After charging, disconnect the power adapter from the source first, then unplug the cable from the device and the adapter.

Data Transfer Usage

To transfer data between a computer and your device:

• Ensure both the computer and the device are powered on.
• Verify that the device interface is compatible with the cable.
• Connect one end of the cable to the computer's USB port (USB 3.0 or later is recommended for optimal speed) and the other end to your device.
• If prompted on your device, click Trust and Allow in the permission window.
• Use your computer's file manager to locate the device and perform file operations.
• Always use the Safely Eject Device function on your computer before unplugging the cable to prevent data loss.

Safety Usage Guidelines

• Do not use damaged, aged, or poorly connected cables to avoid short circuits or electrical leakage.
• Avoid placing cables in high-temperature, humid, or corrosive environments.
• If the cable or connector exhibits abnormal heating, odor, or smoke, disconnect the power immediately and contact after-sales service.
• Do not disassemble or modify the cable.
• Children should use the cable under adult supervision to prevent accidental biting or pulling.
• Always hold the connector when plugging or unplugging; do not pull on the cable itself.
• Keep the cable away from sharp objects to prevent scratches.

Maintenance and Care

• After use, coil the cable gently and store it in a dry box to prevent dust accumulation.
• If the interface becomes dusty or oily, wipe it with a dry, soft cloth (e.g., an eyeglass cleaning cloth). Do not use damp cloths, alcohol, or other liquids.
• When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the cable and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid prolonged stretching or bending. Do not let the device suspend the cable while charging.
• Prioritize using original chargers or those with national 3C certification.
