Setup and Installation
Mounting Options
The iOttie Easy One Touch mount offers versatile mounting options for both your dashboard and windshield. Choose the best location for optimal visibility and accessibility.
Windshield Mounting
For vehicles with curved or textured dashboards, mounting on the windshield is recommended to ensure a secure suction. Clean the windshield surface thoroughly before application.

Dashboard Mounting
For flat, smooth dashboards, the mount can be directly applied. Ensure the surface is clean and free of debris for maximum adhesion.

Suction Cup Preparation
The enhanced suction cup features a sticky gel formula for a stronger hold. For optimal performance, ensure the suction cup is clean. If it loses stickiness, rinse it with warm water and air dry.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Suction Cup

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Mount not sticking to dashboard/windshield. | Ensure surface is clean and dry. Rinse suction cup with warm water and air dry if it has lost stickiness. For textured dashboards, consider windshield mounting. |
| Phone not securely held in cradle. | Ensure the phone is placed firmly against the trigger button to activate the Easy One Touch mechanism. Adjust the bottom foot to properly support the phone. |
| Telescopic arm is loose. | Tighten the telescopic knob to secure the arm in place. |
| Mount falls off in extreme temperatures. | High temperatures can affect suction. Re-apply the mount to a clean surface. Consider mounting on the windshield if dashboard temperatures are too high. |
