Maintenance

• Suction Cup Cleaning: If the suction cup loses its stickiness, rinse it with warm water and let it air dry. This will restore its adhesive properties.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the materials.
• Temperature Considerations: The mount is designed to withstand extreme temperatures (-40°F to 194°F). However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in extremely hot conditions may affect adhesive performance over time.

Troubleshooting

• Suction Cup Not Sticking:
  • Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and flat. Avoid curved, textile, or leather surfaces.
  • Rinse the suction cup with water and let it air dry to restore stickiness.
  • Apply firm pressure when attaching and ensure the lock lever is fully engaged.
• Vent Clip Not Secure:
  • Ensure the vent clip is compatible with your car's vent type (horizontal/vertical blades). It is not compatible with round, cross, or diagonal vents.
  • Verify the lever on the clip is fully tightened to secure it to the vent blade.
• Phone Wobbles in Cradle:
  • Ensure the side arms are firmly gripping the phone. Squeeze them until they ratchet securely.
  • Check that the bottom cradle legs are extended appropriately to fully support your phone's size.
