※Please note that it is not compatible with uneven installation surfaces.

※Please clean the installation surface with an alcohol swab before installation.

5. Do not touch the adhesive surface with your fingers. Fingerprints will reduce adhesive strength.

6. When replacing the double-sided tape, remove the old double-sided tape cleanly before replacing the new one. If the old double-sided tape is left on the mounting surface, it may weaken the adhesive strength of the new double-sided tape. If you need additional double-sided tape, please contact us. We will provide after-sales service.

7. When attaching, please press and hold for about 2 minutes to fix the product in place.   

8. Please allow 24 hours for the product to be firmly fixed before use.

9. There is a method of fixing screws, but it requires installation work. Please understand this in advance.
