Setup

Attaching the Light to Your Phone

  1. For MagSafe Compatible Phones: Ensure your phone or phone case is MagSafe compatible. Simply align the magnetic back of the selfie light with the MagSafe area on your phone until it snaps securely into place. It is recommended to remove your phone case before use for the strongest magnetic hold.
  2. For Non-MagSafe Phones: Use the included magnetic ring. Clean the back surface of your phone or case. Peel off the adhesive backing from the magnetic ring and firmly press it onto the desired location on your phone/case. Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to set before attaching the light. Once the ring is secure, attach the selfie light magnetically to the ring.
