7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VANMASS CTEZ11 Car Vent Phone Mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
• Check Tightness: Periodically check that the locking nut for the ball joint and the knob for the vent clip are securely tightened to maintain stability.
• Silicone Pads: Ensure the silicone pads on the clamp arms and vent clip remain clean and free of debris to maintain optimal grip and protection.

8. Troubleshooting

• Mount is unstable or falls off the vent:
  • Ensure the steel hook is fully inserted into a vent blade and the tightening knob is securely fastened.
  • Verify that your vent type is compatible (most horizontal and vertical vents are supported). Avoid round or unusually shaped vents if the mount does not feel secure.
  • Check if the vent blades are damaged or too loose.
• Phone does not fit securely in the cradle:
  • Ensure the adjustable feet are extended to accommodate thicker phones or cases. The mount supports phones from 4 to 7 inches and cases up to 0.6 inches thick.
  • Press the 'One-Click Release' button to fully open the clamp arms before inserting the phone.
• Phone mount rattles or shakes:
