4. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the screen and exterior of the device. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Temperature: Operate the device within the specified working temperature range of -20°C to +80°C. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the device in a cool, dry place.
- Cable Management: Ensure all cables are securely connected and not pinched or damaged.
5. Troubleshooting
- Bluetooth Connection Issues: Carplay's Bluetooth does not connect directly to the car radio's Bluetooth. The device supports dual Bluetooth modes; once your phone is connected to the Carplay function, it can then connect to the car radio's Bluetooth. Ensure both connections are established correctly.
- Slow Performance: If the device is running slowly, try closing unnecessary applications. The 8-core processor is designed for smooth multi-application handling, but excessive background processes can impact performance.
- No Rear Camera Display: Check that the rear camera is properly connected to its designated port on the DVR. Ensure the camera itself is powered and functional.
- No Internet Connection via WiFi: Verify that the mobile hotspot or general WiFi network is active and providing internet access. Re-enter the WiFi password if necessary.
- GPS Not Tracking: Ensure the external GPS module is securely connected and has a clear line of sight to the sky for optimal signal reception.
