Setup
1. Installation and Removal
The Eyoyo EY-017P scanner features a retractable bracket for easy attachment and detachment from your smartphone. It is compatible with phones ranging from 5.4 to 6.5 inches in length. For optimal installation, it is suggested to remove your phone case if its length exceeds 150mm (5.9 inches), as a thick case might hinder proper fit.
