Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the phone holder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

Phone not holding securely:
- Ensure your phone's dimensions are within the compatible range (65-80mm width, up to 6.8 inches).
- Remove any bulky phone cases that might prevent the holder's arms from closing properly or engaging all four support points.
- Verify that the phone is centered and fully seated within the holder's grip.
Holder is loose on the air vent:
- Confirm that the holder's clamp is fully engaged with a sturdy air vent slat.
- Ensure your air vent type is compatible (vertical or horizontal slats). Round or irregular vents may not provide a secure fit.
Difficulty rotating the phone:
- Check for any obstructions around the ball joint.
- Ensure the rotation mechanism is not jammed. Avoid forcing rotation if resistance is met.
