1Mounting Your Spike
IMPORTANT TO NOTE...
•Mount your Spike to a Smartphone or Tablet case. You may wish to use two
cases - one with Spike attached to it and the other for general day-to-day use.
• We recommend attaching your Spike to a hard case with a at back. It will not
attach securely to a soft or curved back design.
•Optimal surfaces to attach Spike to are metal and hard plastic surfaces.
1 Find the best location for your Spike on the
back of your Smartphone or Tablet case.
• Place Spike close to the camera, but ensure that Spike
does not obstruct the view from your camera or ash.
• For Tablets, Spike may be orientated in a position that is
most comfortable when holding your Tablet in landscape.
• To verify, start your camera app and hold your Spike
against the back of your Smartphone or Tablet to validate
correct placement.
2 Use the Cleaning Tissue provided to thoroughly
clean the area on the back of your case where
Spike will be attached.
Important: Do not use the Cleaning Tissue to clean
lenses as it may cause damage.
3 On the back of your Spike, peel off the protective
backing to expose the adhesive tape.
• Use a sharp knife to lift the edge of the backing strip.
• The adhesive tape adheres best at room temperature.
4 Make sure the cleaned area on your case is
completely dry, then position Spike onto your
case, and press down rmly for approximately
60 seconds.
• Allow approximately 1 hour for useable bond strength.
• Ultimate bond strength is dependent upon the amount
of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Be sure to
press rmly to develop this bond strength.
