How to Use the USB-C Receptacle for Pass-Through Charging

iDynamo 6's USB-C receptacle only supports charging the host while iDynamo 6 is
connected. It does not support synchronizing data. To synchronize the host with a
computer, you must disconnect iDynamo 6 and connect the host directly to the computer.
Unlike iDynamo 6 with USB host plugs, iDynamo 6 with Lightning can receive a limited
set of commands via the USB-C receptacle in addition to the Lightning connector, even
when the device is set to use the Lightning connector as its primary host interface.
iDynamo 6 is equipped with USB-C receptacle which allows the host to continue charging while
iDynamo 6 is connected to the host's power and data port. This is called pass-through charging.
To set up pass-through charging, follow these steps:
1) Disconnect iDynamo 6 from the host.
2) Verify the charging power source works properly without iDynamo 6 by connecting the host directly
to the power source using the host's original cable: The power source must be a USB charger sold or
approved by the host's manufacturer.
3) Make sure the host charges correctly.
4) Disconnect the charging cable from the host and charger and set it aside.
5) Connect iDynamo 6 to the host. See section 2 Installation for details.
6) Connect the charging cable included with iDynamo 6 to the charger.
7) Connect the other end of the cable to iDynamo 6's USB-C receptacle.
For deeper details about the device's power systems, see section 3.4 Power Management.
