Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Power Acoustik PD-1060HB car stereo, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Screen Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for electronic screens. Gently wipe the touchscreen to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

- Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PD-1060HB, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Power/Unit Not Turning On: Check all power connections, including the main power wire, ground wire, and accessory wire. Ensure the vehicle's fuse for the stereo is intact.
- No Sound from Speakers: Verify all speaker wires are correctly connected and not short-circuited. Check the stereo's volume level and audio settings (e.g., fader, balance, mute). Ensure speaker plugs are properly seated.
- Screen Freezes or Becomes Unresponsive: Try resetting the unit. This may involve pressing a small 'reset' button (if available, often recessed) or disconnecting the vehicle's battery for a few minutes to perform a hard reset.
- Bluetooth Connectivity Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both the stereo and your mobile device. Delete previous pairings and attempt to re-pair. Move closer to the unit to rule out interference.
- MHL PhoneLink Not Working: Confirm your smartphone is MHL compatible and you are using a proper MHL cable. Some phones may not be fully compatible with the mirroring function.
- GPS Navigation Problems: Ensure the GPS antenna is properly installed and has a clear view of the sky. Verify that map data is loaded correctly and consider checking for map updates if issues persist.
- Backup Camera Intermittent/Not Working: Check the camera's power and video signal connections. Ensure the reverse trigger wire is correctly connected to the vehicle's reverse light circuit.
- Volume Resets to Half: This may indicate a specific setting or a software anomaly. Check the audio settings for any default volume limits or power-on volume options. A firmware update might be required if this is a persistent issue.
For persistent issues not resolved by these steps, please contact Power Acoustik customer support or consult a qualified car audio technician.
