Important Considerations

- Ensure your AirPods case supports wireless charging to utilize the AirPods charging feature.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the car mount. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the car mount in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Handling: Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts, which could damage internal components.
