3. Setup and Installation

The Bracketron OneClick offers three installation methods: windshield, dashboard, or air vent.

3.1 Suction Cup Installation (Windshield or Dashboard)

1. Clean the Surface: Ensure the chosen surface (windshield or dashboard) is clean, flat, and free of dust, oil, or protectants. Use water or alcohol for cleaning.
2. Apply Suction Cup: Press the TemperBond suction cup firmly onto the desired clean, flat surface. Avoid curved or uneven surfaces.
3. Engage Lever: Flip the lever on the suction cup base down to create a strong vacuum seal.
4. Dashboard Pad (Optional): If your dashboard is textured or made of real leather, use the included 3M adhesive dashboard pad. Peel off the protective film, press the pad firmly onto the dashboard, and wait 36-72 hours for the adhesive to cure before attaching the suction cup to the pad. Do not mount the suction cup too soon, as this may cause the pad to peel.

3.2 Air Vent Installation

1. Attach Vent Clip: Connect the air vent clip to the back of the phone mount cradle.
2. Secure to Vent: Carefully insert the vent clip into a suitable car air vent. Ensure it is securely latched to a vent blade. The design features a steel hook for a stable grip.
3. Adjust Position: Position the mount to avoid obstructing airflow or vehicle controls.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Suction Cup

• If the suction cup's grip weakens or becomes dirty, rinse it with cold water.
• Allow the suction cup to air dry completely to restore its adhesive properties. Do not wipe with a cloth, as this can leave lint.

6. Troubleshooting

• Suction Cup Not Sticking:
  Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and dry. Avoid curved or porous surfaces. If using the 3M dash pad, ensure it has cured for 36-72 hours before mounting. Rinse the suction cup with cold water and air dry to restore grip.
• Mount Feels Unstable/Wobbly:
  Ensure the suction cup lever is fully engaged or the vent clip is securely latched. For dashboard mounts, ensure the gooseneck is positioned to minimize leverage on the suction cup. The 2-point stabilization feature (if applicable to your model) should be utilized for added stability.
• Phone Not Holding Securely:
  Ensure the phone is placed firmly against the mount's trigger to fully engage the automatic closing arms. Verify your phone size is within the compatible range (4" to 7").
