When not in use, coil up your aux cord and store it in a dry place. This prevents it from causing accidents and elongates its lifespan. When unplugging the aux cord, do not yank it out from your device — even if you’re in a rush! This could weaken the strength of the wires and impact your playback quality. Store your cables away from children and pets, as it is a known occurrence for pets or children to chew on the cord and expose the wires within.
