Third-party power adapters and
USB cables
The power adapter and USB cable that you use with your mobile hotspot must meet
certain standards to provide sufficient power for device charging and Plugged-In Mode.
Depending on the region where you purchased your hotspot, it includes a Quick Charge
2.0-certified or Quick Charge 3.0-certified power adapter and a USB 3.2 Type-A to
Type-C cable. We recommend that you use the included USB cable and power adapter
with your hotspot for best performance.
