6. Troubleshooting

• No Display: Ensure the power cable (OBD II or USB) is securely connected and the vehicle's ignition is on. Check the vehicle's OBD II port for power if using OBD II mode.
• OBD II Mode Not Working: Verify your vehicle is OBD II compliant. Some older vehicles or specific models may not support OBD II. Try switching to GPS mode.
• Inaccurate Speed Reading (GPS Mode): Ensure the HUD has a clear view of the sky for optimal GPS signal reception. Speed accuracy may vary slightly based on satellite availability.
• Display Glare: Adjust the HUD's position or angle to minimize glare from sunlight.
• Alarms Not Triggering: Check the alarm settings in the HUD's menu to ensure thresholds are correctly configured.
• Unit Not Powering Off: If the unit remains on after the engine is off, check your vehicle's OBD II port for constant power supply. In some vehicles, the OBD II port may remain active for a period after ignition is off.
