If you use unsuitable or damaged connector cables and if you insert the plug on the connector cable with excessive force  
or in the wrong position, this can lead to malfunctions and damage to the device, e.g. the device connection and the plug  
on the connector cable can be damaged.  
Only use suitable and undamaged connector cables.  
Hold the plug on the connector cable in the correct position and insert it into the intended socket while pressing
