Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Locking Tablet Wall Mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
  • Inspection: Periodically check all screws and mounting hardware to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
  • Key Care: Keep the enclosure and cable lock keys in a safe, accessible location. Avoid forcing keys if they feel stuck.

Troubleshooting

Tablet does not fit inside the enclosure:
Ensure your tablet model is listed in the compatibility section. Verify that any thick cases or accessories are removed from the tablet before attempting to insert it into the enclosure. Adjust foam inserts as needed.
Enclosure does not lock:
Ensure the tablet is properly seated and the enclosure is fully closed. Check for any obstructions preventing the latch from engaging. Try using the spare key.
Mount feels unstable after installation:
For wall mounts, ensure appropriate wall anchors were used for your wall type and that all screws are securely tightened. For countertop use, ensure the surface is flat and stable, and consider anchoring the mount or using the cable lock for added stability.
