The mechanism of my Universal Interface Mini is suddenly locked – why and what can I do?Updated a month ago

In rare cases, the mechanism of the Universal Interface Mini may accidentally become “over-rotated”. This usually happens when the interface is not placed fully flat on an SP Connect mount during installation and slightly slips while being locked.

In this situation, the mechanism ends up in the locked position without being correctly attached to a mount. As a result, the Universal Interface Mini can no longer be placed onto a mount.


Solution: Reset the mechanism using the SPC+ Tool

You can easily return the mechanism to the correct position using the included  SPC+ Tool .

Step-by-step instructions

1) Hold the device steady
Hold the device you are using with the Universal Interface Mini firmly with one hand.

2) Insert the tool correctly
Insert the SPC+ Tool fully and flat into the mechanism. Make sure it contacts two diagonally opposite corners at the same time.

3) Rotate the mechanism back
Turn the mechanism back by 90 degrees using the SPC+ Tool. Some additional force may be required – this is normal.


How to prevent accidental locking

When attaching the Universal Interface Mini, always make sure it sits completely flat on the mount interface before rotating it into the locked position. This prevents slipping and over-rotating the mechanism.
