Technical Support

  • The button doesn't work, what should I do?

    While we QC test every single viewer that leaves our factory, some slip through the cracks. You can try pushing on the cardboard on the inside to alleviate the pressure and allow the button to move freely. Just a little bit of pressure is all it takes sometimes. If your button is still not working please contact us for a replacement HERE.

  • The mini suction pad doesn’t work, what should I do?

    The mini suction pad will only work on surfaces that are even. If your phone has a textured back, such as the Samsung S6 Active, it will not work. An easy solution is to put a piece of tape on the back on the phone while you are using it. Both packing tape and duct tape will stick to the pad.

    If the pad gets dirty you can clean it with water, similar to any suction cup. Just remember to not get the cardboard around it wet or it will puff out.

  • The image appears to be blurry/double vision, what do I do?

    If you are using the 2.0 Plus, adjust the left and right tabs until your vision feels comfortable. The best method is to adjust the tabs on the sides one at a time with each eye closed until the lenses are directly in front of the eyes.

    Also, try to move the phone to the left or right. The phone needs to be positioned just right for the apps to be viewed properly.

    Lastly, if you are still having issues, be sure the "more rounded" side of the lens is facing the phone.

  • The lenses are dirty/scratched how do I clean them?

    You can clean them with either rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. Use a cotton ball or Q-tip to avoid coming in contact with the cardboard. The cardboard will absorb the liquid and puff out.

  • My QR code has faded/Need QR code - Do you have a place where I can scan one?

    Scan the QR Code that matches the viewer you have:

    • v2.0

    • v2.0 Plus

    • UC Elite

  • The glue came undone, what do I do?
    1. Scrape the dried glue away
    2. Apply hot glue or wood glue (Elmers)
    3. Hold for 15-20 seconds.

    If you are not comfortable doing that please contact us HERE for a replacement.
