5.2 General Cleaning

Wipe the phone holder with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Suction Cup Not Sticking

• Ensure the dashboard or windshield surface is clean and dry before installation.
• Rinse the suction cup with warm water and air-dry to restore stickiness.
• Certain surfaces, such as leather (except faux leather/synthetic leather), waxed, or oiled dashboards, are not compatible with the suction cup. Use the mount on the windshield or air vent instead.
• For maximum adhesion, install the suction cup in a temperature range of 68°F to 77°F (10°C to 25°C) and leave it for 1 hour before use.

6.2 Phone Holder Instability

• Ensure all knobs and the suction cup lock are securely tightened after installation.
• The holder features a triangular structure and robust clamping force to maintain stability even on bumpy roads or during sudden braking.

6.3 Overheating in High Temperatures

• When the temperature is above 95°F (35°C) or when your car is constantly exposed to direct sunlight, it is recommended to use the air vent clip instead of the suction cup. This can also help cool your phone.
