2.1 Membongkar dan Pemeriksaan

4. Penyelenggaraan

Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your LAUNCH Original Main Cable.

4.1 Pembersihan

  • Wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust, dirt, or grease.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the PVC coating and connector materials.

4.2 Penyimpanan

  • Store the cable in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive humidity.
  • Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cable at sharp angles, as this can stress the internal wires and PVC coating. The flexible PVC coating is designed for durability, but proper handling is still recommended.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the cable during storage.

4.3 Langkah Berjaga-jaga Pengendalian

  • Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable, never pull directly on the cable itself.
  • Ensure connectors are free of debris before connection to prevent damage to pins. The zinc-plated copper connectors are designed to resist corrosion and oxidation, providing a reliable connection.
