How do I care for my USB-C Device or Adapter?

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

  1. Grip the Plug, Not the Cable
    Always hold the plastic plug housing when unplugging. Never pull from the wire.
  2. Pull Straight Out
    Remove the connector by pulling directly outward — not up, down, or sideways. Angled force can weaken or split the plug.
  3. Insert Gently
    Align the connector carefully and insert it straight in. Do not force it or twist it.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
