• The mounting arm features a 360-degree swivel mini ballhead and a 0.67-inch thread, allowing for extensive angle adjustments.
• Loosen the thumbscrew on the mounting arm to adjust the angle of your phone. Tighten it firmly once the desired angle is achieved.
• The phone holder itself can rotate 360 degrees, allowing you to switch between portrait and landscape orientations.

6.3 Optimal Placement

The mount's design allows for flexible positioning to suit your needs, whether for navigation or passenger entertainment.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Storage: If removing the mount for an extended period, store it in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures.

8. Troubleshooting

• Mount feels loose: Ensure all screws securing the base to the dashboard and the arm to the base are fully tightened.
• Phone not held securely: Verify that your phone is within the 4-7 inch size range and that the clamp arms are fully closed around it. Remove excessively bulky accessories if they prevent proper clamping.
• Difficulty adjusting angle: Loosen the thumbscrews on the mounting arm slightly before attempting to adjust the angle. Re-tighten once the desired position is achieved.
• Mount obstructs view: Re-evaluate the ball head position on the slide rail base. Loosen the screw on the base and slide the ball head to a less obstructive location, then re-tighten.
