Troubleshooting

Device not recognized after connecting the adapter

Ensure your host device (phone/laptop) supports OTG functionality. Check that the USB-A peripheral is functioning correctly by connecting it directly to a standard USB-A port. Try plugging the adapter and peripheral into a different port if available.

Slow data transfer speeds

Verify that both the adapter and the connected USB-A peripheral support USB 3.0 or higher speeds. The overall speed will be limited by the slowest component. Ensure the port on the host device also supports high-speed transfer.

Adapter does not fit into the USB-C port

Confirm that you are using a USB-C port on your host device. The adapter's USB-C connector is designed to be specific. Ensure there is no obstruction in the USB-C port.

Intermittent connection

Check for any damage to the adapter's connectors or the USB-C port on your device. Ensure a secure connection by pressing the adapter firmly into the port. Try a different USB-A peripheral to rule out an issue with the peripheral itself.
