5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Scosche HVM2 Vent Phone Mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the mount and remove any dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- Vent Clips: Periodically check the vent clips for any signs of wear or loosening. If the clips become loose after frequent removal and re-installation, contact Scosche customer support for assistance or replacement parts.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Scosche HVM2 Vent Phone Mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mount feels loose or unstable in the vent. | Vent clips not fully inserted or vent louvers are too weak/flexible. | Ensure clips are pushed firmly into the vent. Try a different vent location if available. Avoid over-tightening the clips. |
| Phone is not held securely. | Device is too large/small for the mount's adjustable range (max 3.5" wide) or arms are not fully gripping. | Verify your device's width is within the 3.5-inch limit. Ensure the adjustable arms are fully closed around your device. Remove bulky phone cases if necessary. |
| Mount rotates or tilts unexpectedly. | Lock-nut for rotation is not tightened sufficiently. | Tighten the lock-nut located on the back of the phone holder to secure the desired viewing angle. |
If you continue to experience issues, please contact Scosche customer support.
