For optimal mounting and charging, please follow the detailed instructions within this manual when using the Auto Sense Wireless Charging Mount. iOttie is not liable for possible damages due to product misuse.

Critical Information

Mounting at a perpendicular angle to the mount works best with the proximity sensor.If mounting at an angle, phone will need to be very close to sensor for arms to open.

Smartphone casesReflective Smartphone cases work best. Dark colored or textured cases do not reflect light well, making it difficult for the Proximity Sensor to detect phone. If using a dark colored or textured case, the phone will have to be very close to mount for arms to open automatically.
