The Scosche MagicMount Power Hub is a versatile magnetic cup-holder mount and power hub designed for mobile devices. This innovative accessory provides a secure mounting solution for your smartphone or other mobile devices within your vehicle's cup holder, while also offering convenient charging capabilities.
At its core, the device functions as a magnetic mount, utilizing a strong magnetic surface to hold your mobile device in place. This magnetic attachment is achieved through the use of metal plates that adhere to your device or its case. The manual outlines three primary options for attaching these metal plates, catering to different user preferences and device setups.
The first option involves placing a protective film sticker on your device, then attaching the metal plate directly to the film. This method is ideal for users who wish to mount the plate directly onto their device without permanent adhesion to the device's surface. The protective film is optional, offering a layer of separation between the metal plate and the device itself.
The second option simplifies the process by attaching the adhesive side of the metal plate directly to the back of your device's case. This is a straightforward approach for users who prefer to keep the plate on their case, allowing for easy removal of the device from the mount while leaving the plate attached to the case.
The third option, suitable for larger plates, involves attaching the adhesive side of the metal plate to the interior of your device's case, positioning it between the device and the inside of the case. In this scenario, the plate adheres to the magnetic mount through the rear panel of the case. For users who choose not to attach the metal plate to the device or case, the manual suggests leaving the adhesive backing in place and simply positioning the plate between the device and the interior of the case, with the metal surface facing the case. This allows for magnetic attachment without any permanent adhesion.
Beyond its mounting capabilities, the MagicMount Power Hub integrates a power hub, transforming a single 12V power source into multiple charging options. It includes dual USB charge ports, allowing you to power up your smartphone, tablet, or other USB-powered devices. Additionally, it features dual 12V power sockets, which can be used to connect other 12V accessories, effectively expanding the utility of your vehicle's power outlet. An LED power indicator illuminates when the device is connected and ready for use, providing a visual cue that the charging ports are active.
The design of the mount emphasizes flexibility and adjustability. It features a flex neck that allows you to adjust the angle of the magnetic mount, ensuring optimal viewing and accessibility for your device. The top portion of the power hub can also swivel 360 degrees, providing further customization of the neck's orientation. This adjustability ensures that you can position your device precisely where you need it, minimizing distractions and maximizing convenience while driving.
Installation of the magnetic mount into your vehicle's cup holder is designed to be straightforward. The cup holder base features a rotating mechanism that allows you to expand the base to fit snugly into various cup holder sizes. Once placed in the cup holder, gently rotating the power hub helps to secure the base, ensuring a stable and reliable mount for your device.
For maintenance and care, the manual provides guidance on removing the metal plates. It recommends using a thin plastic card to carefully lift the adhesive surface of the plates from the mounting surface. Users are advised to slowly lift and remove the plate, and importantly, to avoid using any heat or liquids during removal, as this could potentially damage your phone or device. This gentle approach helps preserve the integrity of both the device and the mounting plate.
The device is designed with user safety in mind, including important warnings. Users are cautioned against using the magnetic mount with hard-drive based devices like older iPod classic, iPod video, and Zune MP3 players, as the magnets could potentially interfere with their operation. When handling or removing plastic parts of the vehicle, users are advised to use caution to avoid cracking or breaking components. In case of adhesive residue, a non-abrasive cleaner is recommended for removal. A critical airbag warning emphasizes that the mount, or any other object, should not be placed on or near an airbag, as deployment could cause serious injury. Finally, a general caution reminds users that the magnetic mount is not a toy and that the small magnets are harmful if swallowed, urging users to keep it away from children.
In summary, the Scosche MagicMount Power Hub is a comprehensive in-car solution that combines secure magnetic mounting with versatile charging capabilities, all within a flexible and user-friendly design. It aims to enhance the driving experience by keeping mobile devices accessible, charged, and safely positioned.
