Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly install your VANMASS Car Phone Mount for optimal stability.

Suction Cup Installation (Dashboard/Windshield)

1. Step 1: Clean the Surface

   Thoroughly clean the flat dashboard or windshield surface where you intend to install the mount. Dust and stains can significantly affect adhesion. Ensure the surface is dry before proceeding.

3. Step 3: Lock the Suction

   While maintaining pressure, pull down the lever on the suction cup base to fully lock it into place. This creates a strong vacuum seal.

4. Step 4: Wait Before Use

   For optimal adhesion, wait at least 15 minutes after locking the suction cup before attaching your phone or applying significant pressure to the mount.

Important Note: The suction cup is designed with strong viscosity. It is not recommended for use on leather, textured, or filmed glass surfaces. For such surfaces, please use the air vent clip instead.

Air Vent Clip Installation

The upgraded steel hook clip provides ultra-stable attachment to your car's air vent.

• Attach the air vent clip component to the main phone holder unit.
• Carefully insert the hook clip into one of your car's air vent blades.
• Tighten the screw on the clip to secure it firmly to the vent blade.
• This method is recommended for horizontal and vertical vent blades. It is not suitable for cross or round air vents.

Operating Instructions

Using your VANMASS Car Phone Mount is simple and intuitive.

Inserting and Removing Your Phone

• To open the clamps, press the side release button located on the back of the phone holder. The arms will automatically extend.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your VANMASS Car Phone Mount.

• Cleaning the Suction Cup: If the suction cup loses stickiness over time, rinse it with warm water and allow it to air dry completely. This will restore its adhesive properties.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Temperature Resistance: The mount is designed to resist temperatures from -40°F to 194°F (-40°C to 90°C). However, prolonged exposure to extreme heat can affect the suction cup's performance. If the weather is very hot, consider using the air vent clip instead of the suction cup.
