Using Your Mükava for the First Time

If you wish to use Mükava’s charging USB ports or LED light, select the appropriate power adaptor plug for your location.

• Slide the appropriate adaptor plug onto the power adaptor head.

Lift your Mükava by the stand and place it in the location where you like to use it.

If you have elected to use the charging USB ports or LED lights, connect the power adaptor cord to the jack on the front of the Mükava base and plug the power adaptor into closest power source nearest to your Mükava.



• To adjust the Mükava stand from its default side table position, squeeze the adjustment lever underneath the reading surface with one hand and with the other hand, lift the reading surface outwards then upwards before pulling the reading surface up or down to the desired position.

• When the Mükava stand is at the desired height position, release the adjustment lever. Mükava will stop near the desired position.

Closing the Mükava Stand

Important!Do not place or leave a tablet, phone or other object on the reading surface while adjusting the Mükava stand.

• To close the Mükava stand to its default side table position, squeeze the adjustment lever underneath the reading surface with one hand and with the other hand, lift the reading surface upwards and push it back gently.

• Allow the reading surface to gently collapse to the desired position, or original side table position and release the adjustment lever.

• The reading surface can be adjusted to the level position where it will hold.



Using Mükava with a Tablet or Phone

Mükava can be used with most phones or tablets currently available in the market. Do not use Mükava with ‘curved’ phones.

Mükava pads use a patented adhesive system which uses no chemical adhesives, but millions of micro suction cups to maintain adhesion between the pad and your device. With normal use and care, your Mükava pad should maintain its adhesion for many years. We recommend that you leave your Mükava pad on your devices. The adhesion to your device will improve over time.

Important!Mükava cannot be used with a laptop when the stand has been opened. In no circumstances should you attempt to use a device that weighs more than 2.2 pounds (1 kg) on your Mükava while the stand is open.

Important!Make sure that the Mükava pad is completely dry and clean before applying it to your device

Use the larger Mükava tablet pad for a tablet or smaller Mükava phone pad for a phone.



• Gently press the ‘sticky’ side of the Mükava pad against the clean back side of your device.

• Place the device onto the reading surface with two hands just above the lip on the reading surface.

Important!Never place a tablet or phone on the reading surface directly over your head or neck. An unintentional bump may knock the device off of the reading surface and onto your person or the floor.

Never turn the reading surface more than 90 degrees downwards while you are laying in bed.



Using a Mükava pad on a tablet or phone with a protective outer case

If your tablet or phone has a protective case, please use the following additional steps.

• Find the additional cellophane sheet provided with each Mükava pad for phone or tablet.

• Gently peel the back from the cellophane sheet and apply the ‘sticky’ side to the back of the protective case for the tablet or phone.

• Gently press the clean ‘sticky’ side of the Mükava pad against cellophane sheet that is attached to the back side of your device.

• With two hands carefully place your device against the reading surface of your Mükava to see if your device slides from the Mükava pad. If the device slides from the Mükava pad, either remove the outer protective case or do not use that device with your Mükava.



Charging a Phone or Tablet with Mükava

Mükava can charge any device that has a USB enabled charging cable.

Prior to charging your device, please ensure that Mükava is properly powered by ensuring the power adaptor has been plugged into the wall with an active electrical current.

The micro LED status light between the two USB charging ports indicates the status of the power to your Mükava.

A bright green light means that the power supply to your Mükava is normal.

A dim green light means that the power supply to your Mükava is low.

A red light means that there is too much power to your Mükava.

Use of Tablet or Phone Device Cameras

• To use the front camera on your device, place your device anywhere on the reading surface.

• To use the back camera on your device, place your device on the reading surface so that the back camera is unobstructed yet the entirety of the Mükava pad is secured to the reading surface to prevent the device from falling off.

Bright Green LED status light

If the LED status light is green, insert the tablet or phone charging USB cord into the USB ports found on the back of the reading surface.

Mükava can charge up to two devices simultaneously while you are using the device or while Mükava is unattended. The time required to fully charge your device depends on a number of factors including battery capacity, level of charge already on the device’s battery and use of the device while charging.

Important!If Mükava is not going to be used for a period of more than three days, please ensure to unplug Mükava to prevent unnecessary electrical consumption.



Reading a Book with Mükava

• Prior to placing a book on Mükava, ensure that the reading surface is free of other materials or devices. Rest the book on the bottom lip of the reading surface.

• Pull each of the book cords out from behind the reading surface and secure each corner of the book to the reading surface. The book cords can be pulled upwards or downwards to adjust to various sizes of books.

• Turn each page as needed and tuck it under the book cord.

• When finished reading, release the book cords and adjust them to the cord grooves on the back of the reading surface.

The LED light will remain at this setting until it is adjusted later or the Mükava is unplugged.

• To turn off the LED light, hold the button again for 4 seconds until it turns off.

• When not in use, the LED light can be left in the USB charging port and the head of the light can be stored in the light cradle on the back side of the reading surface.

• Weight should be evenly distributed on the reading surface.Weight should be focused on the center of the reading surface.

• Objects may fall off of Mükava if they exceed 2.2 pounds (1kg) and they are left on the edge of the table.

Using Mükava as a Side Table

While Mükava is not being used with a tablet, phone or other reading media, Mükava can be used as useful side table.

We recommend that you fold your Mükava back to side table position when not being used for reading to avoid unnecessary risk of objects falling off of your Mükava while it is not in use.

Important!A laptop should only be used with Mükava when in side table position. Remember to use good ergonomic principles when seated and using a laptop. Please remember to stand and stretch every 30 minutes while sitting and using a laptop.

Care for your Mükava and Mükava Accessories

Your Mükava table has been designed and built of the best possible materials for years of use regardless of what electronic devices you may purchase in the future.

Your Mükava table has been built without lubrication and does not require any servicing or maintenance during its life.

Mükava pads for phone and tablets are built for years of use, but may fray or come apart after prolonged use. We suggest that you replace your Mükava pad if the pad starts to come apart after prolonged use.

Getting the Most from Your Mükava

Mükava has been designed to help you avoid unnecessary neck and wrist strain due to prolonged use of your electronic device or reading.

Mükava is adjustable to many different positions to help you to have hands-free viewing of whatever reading media you are using regardless of whether you are laying down, sitting or standing.

To minimize neck strain, keep the reading surface as close to eye level as possible and at most 30 degrees above or below your eyes. For optimal ergonomics, remember to stretch every 30 minutes while using your Mükava.

Mükava should be used to complement good posture and will not solve pain and strain from prolonged bad posture. If you continue to suffer pain from prolonged reading, seek help from a medical professional.
