Setup and Installation
- Prepare Your Device: For devices without built-in magnetic capabilities (non-MagSafe), attach one of the provided metal plates to the back of your phone or phone case. Use the protective film first to prevent damage to your device. Clean the surface with the wet wipe, then dry wipe before applying the film and metal plate.
- Attach to Air Vent: Locate a suitable air vent in your vehicle. The vent clip on the magnetic phone holder is designed for universal fit. Gently push the clip onto one of the air vent slats until it is securely fastened. Ensure the mount is stable and does not obstruct your view or dashboard controls.
- Adjust Viewing Angle: The holder features a stainless-steel ball-joint construction, allowing for 360-degree rotation. Adjust your device to the perfect viewing angle for optimal visibility and safety.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, simply place your mobile device onto the magnetic surface of the holder. The N50 neodymium magnets provide a strong, stable hold. To remove your device, gently pull it away from the magnetic surface.
The 360-degree rotation feature allows you to switch between portrait and landscape orientations or adjust the tilt as needed for navigation or media consumption.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface of the phone holder. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Magnet Care: Ensure the magnetic surface and the metal plate on your device are kept clean and free of debris to maintain optimal magnetic strength.
- Vent Clip Inspection: Periodically check the vent clip for any signs of wear or damage to ensure it remains securely attached to your car's air vent.
The heavy-duty construction is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, but proper care will extend the product's lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Phone is not holding securely:
- Check Metal Plate: Ensure the metal plate is correctly positioned on your device or case and is not obstructed.
- Clean Surfaces: Make sure both the magnetic surface of the holder and the metal plate are clean and free of dust or grease.
- Vent Stability: Verify that the vent clip is firmly attached to the air vent and the vent itself is not loose or damaged.
Difficulty adjusting viewing angle:
- Ball Joint: Ensure the tightening nut on the ball joint is not overly tightened, preventing movement. Loosen slightly to adjust, then re-tighten.
Mount is loose in the vent:
- Re-seat Clip: Remove the mount and re-attach it firmly to a sturdy vent slat. Try a different vent if necessary.
