Using the Quad Lock Universal Adaptor is a breeze. First, find a flat surface on your smartphone, case, iPad, tablet, or any flat metal or plastic object. Then, firmly adhere the adaptor to that surface. Once it's on, you can use it with any Quad Lock Mount. To attach your device to the mount, just use the Dual - Stage Lock. It's quick and easy. When you want to remove the device, the lock also makes it simple. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. If you notice any dirt or debris in the lock mechanism, gently clean it out. And always make sure the surface where you're attaching the adaptor is dry and clean for a strong hold.
