Maintenance

• Keep the charging surface clean and free of dust or debris to ensure optimal charging performance.
• Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Regularly check the mounting screws for tightness to ensure the mount remains secure.

Troubleshooting

Phone does not charge wirelessly:

• Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the mount head and the car charger, and the car charger is properly inserted into the vehicle's 12V outlet.
• Verify your phone or phone case is MagSafe or Qi2 compatible. Non-magnetic or thick cases may interfere with charging.
• Reposition your phone on the charging surface to ensure proper alignment with the charging coils.
• Check if your phone's wireless charging feature is enabled.

Phone does not stay securely attached:

• Confirm your phone or phone case is MagSafe or Qi2 compatible with strong integrated magnets.
• Ensure the phone is properly aligned with the magnetic surface of the mount.
• Thick or non-magnetic cases can weaken the magnetic hold. Consider using a MagSafe-compatible case.
• Verify the AMPS mounting plate and the mount head are securely fastened to your vehicle.

Mount or phone becomes excessively hot during charging:

• Wireless charging generates some heat; this is normal. However, excessive heat may indicate an issue.
• Ensure proper phone alignment. Misalignment can cause inefficiency and heat.
• Avoid charging in direct sunlight or in a vehicle with extremely high interior temperatures.
• If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
