Setup and Installation
The mount offers three primary installation methods: dashboard, windshield, and air vent. Choose the method that best suits your vehicle and viewing preference.
1. Dashboard or Windshield Mounting (Suction Cup)
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the dashboard or windshield surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils.
- Position the Mount: Place the suction cup firmly against the desired smooth, flat surface.
- Engage Suction: Press down on the suction cup and then push the lever down to create a strong vacuum seal.
- Adjust Angle: Use the adjustable arm and ball joint to position the phone cradle at your preferred viewing angle. Tighten any locking nuts to secure the position.
2. Air Vent Mounting
- Attach Vent Clip: Securely attach the vent clip accessory to the back of the phone cradle.
- Insert into Vent: Carefully slide the vent clip onto one of your vehicle's air vent blades. Ensure it is firmly seated.
- Adjust Angle: Adjust the phone cradle to your desired viewing angle.
Operating Instructions
Inserting Your Smartphone:
- Open Arms: Squeeze the side release buttons on the mount to open the adjustable side arms. They will click and stay in the open position.
- Place Phone: Gently place your smartphone against the trigger button located in the center of the mount. The arms will automatically close and secure your device.
Removing Your Smartphone:
- Press the quick-release button located on the side of the mount. The arms will open, allowing you to safely remove your phone with one hand.
Adjusting Viewing Angle (360° Rotation):
- The mount features a 360-degree rotatable ball joint. Loosen the locking nut (if present), adjust your phone to portrait or landscape orientation, and then tighten the nut to secure the position.
Charging Access:
- The mount is designed with reserved space at the bottom to allow easy access for charging cables while your phone is secured.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the material.
- Suction Cup Care: If the suction cup loses adhesion, rinse it with warm water and let it air dry. This can help restore its stickiness.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mount in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mount not adhering to surface (suction cup) | Surface is dirty, oily, or uneven; suction cup is dirty or worn. | Clean the mounting surface and the suction cup. Ensure the surface is smooth and flat. Re-engage the suction lever firmly. |
| Phone not held securely | Side arms not fully closed; phone too wide for the mount. | Ensure the phone is placed against the trigger button to fully engage the arms. Verify your phone's width is within the mount's capacity (up to 3.5 inches). |
| Vent clip is loose | Clip not fully inserted into vent blade; vent blades are too thin or thick. | Ensure the vent clip is securely attached to a stable vent blade. Some vent designs may not be compatible. |
