Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Driver Fatigue Alarm, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not powering on | Loose power connection; faulty car charger; vehicle power outlet issue. | Ensure the car charger is securely plugged into both the device and the vehicle's power outlet. Test the power outlet with another device. Try a different compatible car charger if available. |
| Frequent false alarms (e.g., when looking at speedometer) | Device misinterpretation of head/eye movement; sensitivity setting (if adjustable). | Adjust the device's angle and position slightly to ensure it has a clear, stable view of your face while you are looking straight ahead. Minimize excessive head movements. |
| Device not detecting fatigue/distraction | Improper positioning; camera lens obstruction; environmental factors. | Verify the device is aimed directly at your face and within the recommended distance (approx. 26 inches). Clean the camera lens. Ensure no objects are blocking the camera's view. |
| Voice prompts are unclear or too quiet | Speaker obstruction; volume setting (if adjustable); vehicle noise. | Ensure the speaker grille on the back of the device is not obstructed. Check if there are any volume controls on the device (refer to product specifications if available). Reduce ambient vehicle noise if possible. |
