iottie Auto Sense Dash and Windshield Mount
Getting Started
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, the phone will need to be very close to the sensor for the arms to open.
Smartphone cases
Reflective Smartphone cases work best. Dark colored or textured cases do not reflect light well, making it difficult for the Proximity Sensor to detect the phone. If using a dark colored or textured case, the phone will have to be very close to the mount for the arms to open automatically.
Compatibility
Before using the product, make sure your device is Qi Wireless compatible. Compatible devices include iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+, Note9+, and Google Pixel 3.
Qi Wireless Charging in a Vehicle
Use the included iOttie Car Charger and Micro USB Cable. If you do use a third-party car charger, use a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 or equivalent adapter to receive a wireless charge (with compatible devices).
