LowCostEarbuds.com USB-C Device & Adapter Care Guide
Protect Your Plug — Keep Your Connection Strong
Thank you for purchasing USB-C devices or adapters from LowCostEarbuds.com. These items are designed for long-lasting, reliable performance — but only if handled with care. USB-C connectors are durable, yet they can break or split if pulled incorrectly. Follow this simple care guide to make sure your connection stays solid.
✅ Proper Handling
- Grip the Plug, Not the Cable
Always hold the plastic plug housing when unplugging. Never pull from the wire. - Pull Straight Out
Remove the connector by pulling directly outward — not up, down, or sideways. Angled force can weaken or split the plug. - Insert Gently
Align the connector carefully and insert it straight in. Do not force it or twist it. - Keep Ports Clear
Dust or debris in a USB-C port can cause a poor connection. Use a soft, dry cloth to keep ports clean. - Avoid Strain While Connected
Don’t let cables hang off desks or bend sharply while plugged in. Keep slack in the cord to reduce stress on the plug.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ❌ Pulling the cable upward or at an angle when unplugging.
- ❌ Yanking cords to remove them quickly.
- ❌ Using damaged or loose ports.
- ❌ Getting up from a desk while still wearing the device, causing it to unplug with extreme angles and force causing breakage
💡 Quick Tip
If multiple people use the same devices (such as in classrooms or labs), take a moment to remind everyone to pull straight and gently when disconnecting. A few extra seconds can save the connection.
