Keep connectors clean

Dust and lint can interfere with charging and connection. Turn devices off where appropriate, inspect ports regularly, and clean only with safe, dry tools. Never force debris deeper into a port.

Protect cables and hinges

Do not sharply bend cables near the connector. For foldable headphones, open and close the hinges smoothly instead of forcing them.

Store electronics properly

Keep accessories away from moisture, direct sunlight, and excessive heat. A small pouch can prevent scratches and reduce pressure on buttons and connectors.

Watch for warning signs

• Unusual heat during charging
• Intermittent connections
• Swelling, damaged insulation, or exposed wires
• Sudden battery or performance changes

Stop using damaged equipment and replace it with a suitable, verified accessory.
