4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your NEWBOLER Bicycle Phone Mount:
- Prepare the Mount:
If included, put on the anti-slip cushioning gaskets onto the phone mount's gripping arms and the handlebar clamp to protect your device and vehicle's paint. These gaskets also enhance grip.
Figure 4.1: Applying Anti-slip Gaskets - Attach the Clamp to Handlebars:
Unscrew the fixing screws on the handlebar clamp. Place the clamp ring onto your bicycle, electric car, or motorbike handlebars. Ensure the clamp is positioned where it will not obstruct your view or control of the vehicle.
Figure 4.2: Installation Steps - Secure the Clamp:
Insert the screws and use the provided spanner (Allen key) to tighten them securely. Make sure the mount is firm and does not rotate freely on the handlebars. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the handlebars.
- Mount the Phone:
Adjust the phone mount's width by turning the red knob (HOL232) or silver knob (HOL239/H91) to fit your mobile phone. Gently place your phone into the holder, ensuring it is snug and secure. The mechanical locking mechanism will keep your phone stable.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your NEWBOLER Bicycle Phone Mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the aluminum alloy finish.
- Check Tightness: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Vibrations from riding can sometimes loosen fasteners over time. Re-tighten with the provided spanner if necessary.
- Inspect Anti-slip Pads: Ensure the anti-slip cushioning patches are intact and securely in place. Replace them if they show signs of wear or detachment to maintain optimal phone protection and grip.
- Storage: If not in use for an extended period, store the mount in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their solutions:
- Issue: Phone is not stable or shakes excessively.

- Solution 2: Verify that your phone is within the specified width range for the mount (55-95mm for HOL232, 65-107mm for HOL239/H91).
- Solution 3: Check if the anti-slip cushioning patches are properly installed and not worn out.
- Solution 4: Make sure the phone is firmly gripped by turning the adjustment knob until it is snug.
