FAQs
Will this fit my large smartphone with a thick case?
Yes, the expandable cradle is specifically designed to accommodate a wide range of phone sizes, including those with heavy-duty rugged cases.
Can I mount this on a textured dashboard?
The suction cup requires a smooth, flat, and non-porous surface to maintain a vacuum seal. It will not stick securely to highly textured or soft-touch leather-style dashboards.
Is the mount difficult to remove?
No, simply lift the suction release tab to break the vacuum seal and pull the release handle to remove the mount from the surface.
Can I rotate the phone to landscape mode?
Yes, the head is fully rotatable, allowing you to switch between portrait and landscape orientations for better map viewing.
How do I clean the suction cup if it gets dirty?
Simply rinse the suction cup with warm water and let it air dry. This will restore its stickiness by removing collected dust and oils.
Troubleshooting
The mount keeps falling off the surface
Clean both the suction cup and the surface with a damp cloth, ensure the surface is smooth and non-porous, and re-engage the locking lever firmly.
Phone is vibrating during driving
Check that the adjustable arm tension screws are fully tightened and ensure the mount is fixed to a rigid part of the dashboard or windshield.
Quick-release button feels stiff
Ensure no debris is caught in the sliding rails of the cradle and verify that the phone is not pushing against the cradle with excessive force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, select a flat, non-porous area on your windscreen or dashboard. Wipe the area with an alcohol-based cleaner to remove grease and dust, let it dry, and then place the suction cup down while engaging the locking lever. The expandable cradle supports a wide range of devices; simply expand the sides to fit your phone, then press the device against the trigger plate to clamp it shut. To maintain the grip, occasionally wipe the suction cup with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the plastic components to prevent degradation over time.
