3.1 Dashboard/Windshield Mounting (Using Suction Cup)
- Prepare the Surface: Select a flat, clean, and smooth surface on your dashboard or windshield. Use the provided cleaning wipe to thoroughly clean the area and allow it to dry completely. Avoid curved, textile, or leather surfaces.
- Attach the Suction Cup: Place the suction cup firmly onto the prepared surface. Press down on the center of the suction cup to expel air, then push the locking lever down to secure it.
- Adjust the Arm: Loosen the adjustment knobs on the telescopic arm to extend or retract it to your desired length. Adjust the angle of the arm for optimal viewing. Tighten the knobs securely once positioned.
- Attach the Phone Cradle: Connect the phone cradle to the ball joint at the end of the telescopic arm. Adjust the cradle's angle and orientation (portrait or landscape) and tighten the knurled wheel to lock it in place.

3.2 Air Vent Mounting (Using Vent Clip)
The vent clip is designed for horizontal or vertical vent blades with a thickness of 0.07-0.1 inches. It is not compatible with round, cross, or diagonal car vents.
- Attach Cradle to Clip: Connect the phone cradle to the ball joint on the vent clip. Adjust the angle and orientation, then tighten the knurled wheel.
- Secure to Vent: Open the vent clip by pressing the release button. Carefully slide the clip onto a suitable air vent blade. Ensure the lever on the clip is switched to the locked position for a secure fit.

5. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning the Suction Cup: If the suction cup loses its stickiness, rinse it with warm water and let it air dry. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- General Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid submerging any part of the mount in water.
- Temperature Considerations: While the mount is designed to withstand extreme temperatures (-40°F to 194°F), prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in very hot conditions can affect suction. If possible, park in the shade or remove the mount from the windshield/dashboard during extreme heat.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Suction Cup Not Sticking
- Surface Cleanliness: Ensure the mounting surface is completely clean and free of dust, oil, or residue. Use the provided cleaning wipe.
- Surface Type: The suction cup works best on flat, smooth, non-porous surfaces. Avoid textured dashboards, leather, or fabric.
- Air Expulsion: Make sure to press firmly on the suction cup center to expel all air before locking the lever.
- Temperature: In extremely cold conditions, the suction cup material may become less pliable. Warm the suction cup slightly (e.g., with warm air from the car vent) before application. In extreme heat, the adhesive may soften; ensure the surface is clean and dry, and consider using the vent clip option if dashboard/windshield adhesion becomes an issue.
6.2 Phone Cradle Not Holding Securely
- Proper Insertion: Ensure the phone is fully seated in the cradle and the side arms have clamped tightly around it.
- Phone Size/Case: The cradle is designed for a wide range of phones and thick cases. Verify your phone and case fit within the cradle's dimensions.
6.3 Vent Clip Loose
- Vent Type: Confirm your car's vent blades are horizontal or vertical and within the compatible thickness range (0.07-0.1 inches). Round, cross, or diagonal vents are not supported.
- Lever Position: Ensure the lever on the vent clip is fully engaged in the locked position after attaching it to the vent blade.
