Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Syncwire Car Mount. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Choose a Location: Select a flat, smooth surface on your car dashboard, windshield, or desk. Ensure the chosen spot does not obstruct your view or interfere with vehicle controls. For best adhesion, avoid genuine leather, suede, and oil-coated fabrics.
- Clean the Surface: Rub the intended area vigorously and repeatedly at least 10 times with a wet wipe. Wait for about 15 seconds after wiping to allow the surface to completely evaporate and dry.
- Apply the Mount: Peel off the VHB adhesive paper from the base of the mount. Carefully position the mount on the cleaned surface.
- Secure the Adhesive: Press the base firmly for at least 10 seconds to ensure a strong initial bond.
- Allow to Set: IMPORTANT: Let the adhesive set for a minimum of 5 hours before placing any weight on the mount or using it. This allows the 3M adhesive to fully cure and strengthen its adhesion.

Phone Compatibility and Metal Ring Usage
- MagSafe Compatible Devices: If you have an iPhone 12 series or newer, or a MagSafe-compatible phone case, your phone will attach directly to the mount magnetically.
- Non-MagSafe Devices: For older iPhone models (iPhone 11 and earlier), Android phones, or non-magnetic cases, use the included metal rings.
- Attach one of the metal rings (white or black) to the back of your phone case using the provided positioner for accurate placement.
- Ensure the metal ring is securely adhered to the case before use.

Operating Instructions
Using your Syncwire Car Mount is simple and intuitive:
- Attaching Your Phone: Simply bring your MagSafe-compatible phone (or phone with the attached metal ring) close to the magnetic surface of the mount. The strong N55 magnets will automatically snap your phone into place.
- Adjusting Viewing Angle:
- The mount features a 360° flexible rotation base, allowing you to swivel your phone to any desired orientation (portrait or landscape).
- The three-axis foldable arm provides extensive adjustability for height and angle, ensuring optimal visibility and accessibility.
- Detaching Your Phone: Gently pull your phone away from the magnetic surface. For easier detachment, especially if the magnet feels very strong, slide the phone sideways or press down on the armature with one hand while pulling the phone up with the other.
- Folding for Storage: The mount can be completely folded down to a height of 1.8cm (0.71in) when not in use, making it compact and discreet.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Syncwire Car Mount, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Adhesive Care: The 3M adhesive is designed for long-lasting stability. If you need to relocate the mount, use one of the included spare adhesive pads. Ensure the new surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before applying the new pad, and allow the recommended 5-hour curing time.
- Joints: The metal damping axles are designed for durability. Avoid excessive force when adjusting the mount to prevent unnecessary wear.
