5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VJOYCAR V70 HUD, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the device clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure the OBD2 cable connections are secure and free from damage.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or excessive moisture.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your VJOYCAR V70 HUD, consider the following:

• Device not powering on: Ensure the OBD2 cable is securely connected to both the device and the vehicle's OBD2 port. Verify that the vehicle's ignition (ACC) is on.
• Limited data display or no data: While the V70 supports a wide range of vehicles, some older cars (pre-2008) or specific models may have limited OBD2 protocol compatibility, resulting in fewer data points being displayed or no data at all. This is due to the vehicle's internal systems, not a defect in the HUD.
• Inaccurate readings: Ensure the device is properly configured for your vehicle's units (MPH/KM/H). If issues persist, refer to the "System Para Set" menu for calibration options if available, or contact customer support.
• Alarm not sounding: Check the "Alarm Sound" setting in the "System Para Set" menu to ensure it is enabled. Verify that alarm thresholds are set appropriately.
