8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your SYNCWIRE MagSafe Car Mount, refer to the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mount not adhering securely to the dashboard. | Improper surface preparation; insufficient curing time; unsuitable surface material (e.g., soft leather, suede, highly textured). | Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and flat before application. Press firmly for 10 seconds and wait at least 5 hours before use. Use on recommended surfaces (plastic, glass, wood, metal). Utilize a spare adhesive pad if necessary. |
| Phone detaches easily from the mount. | Phone/case not MagSafe compatible; metal ring improperly placed; magnetic surface is dirty. | Ensure your phone or case is MagSafe compatible. If not, use the included metal ring and position it correctly on the outside of your phone case. Clean the magnetic surface of both the mount and your phone/ring. |
| Adjustable arm is too stiff or difficult to move. | Designed for stability, the arm may feel stiff initially. | The arm's stiffness is intentional to maintain position. Apply gentle, consistent force to adjust. Avoid excessive force that could dislodge the mount if not fully cured. |
