Learn how to install and use a universal magnetic ring with your phone mount. Step-by-step guide for a secure, stable setup.
Quick Answer
Attach the ToughTested MagTough Universal Magnetic Ring to the back of your phone or case, then it will snap onto any MagTough mount.
Why Use a Magnetic Ring?
If your phone or case lacks built-in magnets, a universal magnetic ring bridges the gap. It lets you use a magnetic mount without replacing your phone or case.
The ToughTested MagTough ring is low-profile, so it won't add bulk or interfere with wireless charging in most setups.
Choosing the Right Placement
Position the ring so it aligns with the center of your phone's back. Off-center placement can cause wobbling or poor magnetic hold.
Test the ring's position by holding your phone against the mount before peeling the adhesive backing.
Installation Steps
- Clean the Surface: Wipe the back of your phone or case with a lint-free cloth to remove dust, oil, and residue. A clean surface ensures the adhesive sticks firmly. Skipping this step can cause the ring to peel off over time.
- Position the Ring: Peel the protective backing from the adhesive side of the ring. Center it on the back of your phone or case, aligning it with where the mount will attach. Place it off-center and the magnetic hold may be weak or unbalanced.
- Press Firmly: Press the ring down firmly for 15-20 seconds, applying even pressure across the entire ring. This activates the adhesive bond. Insufficient pressure can lead to the ring detaching when you remove the phone from the mount.
- Test the Connection: Hold your phone near the magnetic mount and let it snap into place. Gently shake the phone to confirm the hold is secure before using it on the road. If the phone slides or feels loose, reposition the ring or check that the mount's magnet surface is clean.
