Setup Instructions

Step 1: Attaching the Metal Plate to Your Device

The Minimus MagnetoMount requires a metal plate to be attached to your mobile device or its case for the magnetic connection. Choose one of the following methods:

  1. Directly to Device: Clean the back of your device thoroughly. Peel off the adhesive backing from the metal plate and firmly press it onto the center of the back of your device.
  2. Inside Device Case: Place the metal plate inside your device's case, between the device and the case. Ensure the plate is positioned centrally for optimal magnetic connection. This method allows for removal without adhesive residue on your device.

Step 2: Installing the Mount in Your Car's Air Vent

The Minimus MagnetoMount is designed for easy installation into most car air vents.

  1. Locate a suitable air vent in your vehicle. Ensure the vent fins are horizontal or vertical and sturdy enough to support the mount and your device.
  2. Gently push the rubber prongs of the Minimus MagnetoMount into the gap between two air vent fins. The cross-cut design of the prongs allows for a secure grip.
  3. Push until the mount is firmly seated and stable. Adjust the angle of the vent if necessary to achieve the desired viewing position.
