• Storage: If storing the device for a long time, disconnect it from power and store it in a cool, dry place.
• Cables: Handle all cables and connectors with care to prevent damage. Do not pull on the cables to disconnect.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Miroir Drivvplay, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

6.1 No Power / Device Not Turning On

• Check Power Connection: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to the Drivvplay unit and the car adapter is firmly plugged into the 12V cigarette lighter socket.
• Verify Car Adapter: Test the car adapter in another vehicle or with another compatible device to ensure it's functioning correctly.
• Check Vehicle's Power Socket: Ensure your car's 12V socket is active. Some vehicles require the ignition to be on.

6.2 Cannot Connect to CarPlay / Android Auto Wirelessly

• Bluetooth Pairing: Confirm that your smartphone is successfully paired with the Drivvplay via Bluetooth (refer to Section 3.3).
• Forget Device: On your smartphone, "forget" the Drivvplay from your Bluetooth settings and attempt to re-pair.
• Restart Devices: Restart both your smartphone and the Drivvplay unit.
