3. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the mount holder requires no further operation. Its design ensures passive stability for your attached device. Always ensure your GPS device is securely attached to the mount before driving. For optimal performance, periodically check that the mount is positioned correctly and that the anti-slip base is clean.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning the Mount
- To maintain the anti-slip properties of the bottom surface, wipe it with a damp cloth to remove any dust or residue. Allow it to air dry completely.
- The smooth central disc can be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner to ensure optimal suction for your device.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the material.
5. Troubleshooting
- Issue: The mount slides on the dashboard during driving.
Solution: Ensure the dashboard surface is clean and dry. The anti-slip bottom may lose effectiveness if dirty. Clean the bottom surface with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Verify that the mount is placed on a relatively flat section of the dashboard. - Issue: The GPS device's suction cup does not adhere well to the mount's disc.
Solution: Clean both the smooth disc on the mount and the suction cup of your GPS device thoroughly. Ensure there are no air bubbles when attaching the suction cup and that its locking mechanism is fully engaged.
