Step 4: Accessing Your Andromax C on Your PC
Once connected and the correct mode is selected, your Andromax C should appear as a drive in your PC's file explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac). You can then browse the files on your Andromax C and transfer them to your PC or vice-versa.

Troubleshooting Common Connection Issues
- Device not recognized: Make sure you've selected the correct connection mode on your Andromax C. Try restarting both your phone and your computer. Also, check that the USB cable is securely connected.
