- Position the Mount: Place the main phone holder unit on your handlebar at the desired location.

3.2 Attaching the Magnetic Phone Adapter to Your Smartphone Case
The magnetic phone adapter must be securely attached to your smartphone case. For optimal adhesion and performance, use a plastic, glass, or hard leather case. Avoid soft-touch or uneven cases as they may compromise adhesion.
- Clean the Area: Use the provided alcohol wipe to thoroughly clean the back surface of your phone case where the magnetic adapter will be attached. Allow it to dry completely.
- Align the Magnetic Sticker: Use the included positioning card to accurately align the magnetic phone adapter on the back of your phone case. This ensures proper magnetic alignment with the holder.
- Ensure Full Contact: Press the magnetic adapter firmly onto the cleaned surface of your phone case, ensuring full and even contact.
- Wait for Adhesion: It is crucial to wait a minimum of 12 hours after attaching the magnetic adapter before using it with the phone holder. This allows the 3M adhesive to fully cure and achieve maximum bonding strength. The 3M adhesive is a one-time use application, so place it carefully.
