How do I correctly use the Universal Phone Holder?Updated 5 hours ago

The SP Connect Universal Phone Holder allows you to securely attach your smartphone to a compatible SP Connect mount without requiring a dedicated Phone Case.

Installation is quick and straightforward thanks to the integrated Twist-to-Lock system and spring-loaded clamping mechanism.

Please note that the Universal Phone Holder is designed primarily for horizontal (landscape) positioning, which provides the most secure hold.


Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

  1. Install your SP Connect mount: First, securely attach a compatible SP Connect mount to your motorcycle, bicycle, or other intended mounting location, following the instructions provided with the mount.
  2. Attach the Universal Phone Holder: Position the holder's Twist-to-Lock mechanism flush against the mounting head, ensuring that both components are fully aligned. Rotate the Universal Phone Holder 90° clockwise until it locks securely into place.
  3. Insert your smartphone: Place the bottom edge of your smartphone against the lower holding arm (below the SP Connect logo). Gently push your smartphone upwards to open the spring-loaded clamp.
  4. Secure your smartphone: Position your smartphone between both holding arms and allow the spring-loaded mechanism to close around it. The clamp automatically adjusts to the width of your device and holds it securely in place.
  5. Check the attachment: Before riding or driving, ensure that your smartphone is correctly positioned, firmly secured between both holding arms, and that the Universal Phone Holder is fully locked onto the SP Connect mount.

Important Information

  • Smartphone dimensions: The Universal Phone Holder supports smartphones with a width of 70–85 mm and a maximum total thickness of 14 mm, including any protective case.
  • Recommended orientation: For the most secure hold, we recommend using your smartphone in horizontal (landscape) orientation. Portrait orientation is also possible with compatible SP Connect mounts.
  • Secure positioning: Ensure that both holding arms make proper contact with your smartphone and that no buttons or other components interfere with the clamping mechanism.
  • Before each use: Always verify that the holder is securely locked onto the mount and that your smartphone cannot move or slip out of the clamp.

Summary

To use the SP Connect Universal Phone Holder, first install a compatible SP Connect mount and attach the holder using the 90° Twist-to-Lock mechanism.

Then insert your smartphone into the spring-loaded clamp and allow the holding arms to secure it automatically. For the most secure attachment, we recommend horizontal positioning and checking that both the smartphone and holder are firmly secured before each use.
