2. Setup Instructions

2.1 Package Contents

Before installation, ensure all components are present:

• AHOUDY 5'' Motorcycle Navigation Screen
• Power Cable
• Mounting Bracket 1
• Mounting Bracket 2
• Screwdriver

2.2 Mounting the Device

Use the provided brackets to securely mount the navigation screen to your motorcycle's handlebars. Ensure the screen is positioned for optimal visibility without obstructing your view of the road or controls.

2.3 Power Connection

1. Ensure your motorcycle's power supply is 12V.
2. Connect the black wire (-) of the power cable to the motorcycle battery's negative terminal.
3. Connect the red wire (+) of the power cable to the ACC (Accessory) position of your motorcycle's ignition switch. This ensures the device powers on and off with your motorcycle.
4. Tighten all cable connections securely. Loose connections can cause the device to fail to start or reboot repeatedly.

Warning: Never connect the red wire directly to the battery positive terminal. This will drain your battery. We recommend professional installation by an auto shop to ensure correct wiring and prevent malfunction.

2.4 TF Card Installation (Optional)

If your model supports DVR functionality, you can install a Micro SD (TF) card:

1. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from the power supply.
2. Locate the TF card slot (it may be covered and require unscrewing with the provided screwdriver).
3. Insert a trusted branded Micro SD card (maximum capacity 64GB, C10 speed recommended) into the slot.
4. Do not frequently plug in and out the SD card to avoid damaging it.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Device Not Powering On / Repeated Reboots

• Check all power cable connections to ensure they are secure. Loose connections are a common cause of power issues.
• Verify that the motorcycle's power supply is 12V and functioning correctly.
• Ensure the red wire is connected to the ACC position of the ignition switch, not directly to the battery positive terminal.

5.2 Bluetooth Pairing Issues

• Ensure the motorcycle screen is powered on before your helmet headset.
• If your helmet headset is not detected or fails to connect, delete all paired devices from the screen's Bluetooth list.
• Perform a reset on your helmet headset (refer to your headset's manual for instructions).
• Retry the pairing process.

5.3 CarPlay / Android Auto Connection Problems

• Ensure your smartphone's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are active.
• Verify the pairing code displayed on the screen matches the one on your phone.
• If the screen is locked during pairing, enter the default code "0000" or any custom code you may have set.
• Try restarting both the navigation screen and your smartphone.

5.4 TF Card Not Recognized / Recording Issues

• Ensure you are using a trusted branded Micro SD card (e.g., Samsung, Kingston, SanDisk) with a maximum capacity of 64GB and a C10 speed rating.
• Make sure the TF card is inserted correctly and fully into the slot.
• Power off the device before inserting or removing the TF card.
• If issues persist, try formatting the TF card (this will erase all data) or using a different compatible TF card.

7. User Tips

• Navigation Apps: Since the device uses CarPlay/Android Auto, navigation functionality relies on the apps installed on your smartphone. If you wish to use specific off-road navigation apps, ensure they are compatible with CarPlay or Android Auto and installed on your phone.
• Firmware Updates: While not explicitly detailed, it is good practice to periodically check the manufacturer's official website or any associated app for firmware updates. Updates can improve performance, add features, or fix bugs.
• Video Transfer (if DVR model): If your model includes DVR functionality and records videos to the TF card, you can typically transfer these videos by removing the TF card (after powering off the device) and inserting it into a computer's card reader. Alternatively, some devices may offer a file transfer option via a connected smartphone app or USB connection.
