Operating Instructions
The BOBO BM3 features a secure claw-grip design for holding your smartphone.
Inserting Your Phone:
- Rotate the knob on the side of the mount counter-clockwise to expand the claws to a width slightly larger than your phone.
- Carefully place your smartphone into the expanded claws, ensuring it is centered and all four claws grip the phone's edges securely.
- Rotate the knob clockwise to tighten the claws around your phone. Continue tightening until your phone is firmly secured and does not move. The design ensures strong holding power without obstructing buttons or ports.
Removing Your Phone:
- Rotate the knob on the side of the mount counter-clockwise to loosen the claws.
- Once the claws are sufficiently expanded, carefully remove your smartphone.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BOBO BM3 mount, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the aluminium finish and plastic components.
- Check Tightness: Periodically check all screws and the ball joint nut to ensure they remain tight. Vibrations from riding can sometimes loosen fasteners over time. Re-tighten with the Hex Key if necessary.
- Inspect for Wear: Regularly inspect the claw grips and any rubber padding for signs of wear or damage. Replace components if they show significant deterioration to maintain secure phone holding.
- Storage: If not in use for extended periods, store the mount in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Phone feels loose or vibrates excessively. | Claw grip not tightened sufficiently; ball joint nut is loose; phone size mismatch. | Ensure the side knob is fully tightened. Check and tighten the ball joint nut. Verify your phone fits within the 4.0-7.0 inch screen range. |
| Mount rotates on the handlebar. | Handlebar clamp screw is loose; incorrect spacer used; no 3M tape applied. | Re-tighten the clamp screw with the Hex Key. Ensure the correct spacer is used for your handlebar diameter. Apply 3M tape for better grip if needed. |
| Difficulty inserting/removing phone. | Claws not expanded enough. | Rotate the side knob further counter-clockwise to fully expand the claws before inserting or removing the phone. |
