Operating Instructions

Basic Navigation

• D-Pad/Analog Sticks: Use these to navigate through menus and control in-game movement.
• A/B/X/Y Buttons: Perform actions, confirm selections, or cancel operations as indicated on-screen or in-game.
• MENU Button: Access the system menu or in-game options.
• SELECT/START Buttons: Typically used for game selection, pausing, or specific in-game functions.

Game Selection and Launching

From the main interface, navigate to the desired game category (e.g., GBC, SFC, PS). Select a game from the list using the D-Pad or analog stick and press the A button to launch it. Game loading times may vary depending on the game and system.

System Settings

Access the 'Settings' menu to adjust display brightness, sound volume, Wi-Fi settings, language, and other system preferences. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific setting adjustments.

Wi-Fi and Online Multiplayer

To connect to Wi-Fi, go to 'Settings' and select 'Wi-Fi'. Choose your network and enter the password. Once connected, you can access online multiplayer features or system updates if available.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Console

Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the console's screen and body. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the console regularly, even if not in use for extended periods. Store the console in a cool, dry place.

Software Updates

Periodically check for system software updates through the console's settings menu (if available). Updates can improve performance, add features, or fix bugs. Ensure the console is fully charged before performing any updates.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Trimui Smart Pro, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Console does not power on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the charger and try again. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Screen is blank or frozen: Press and hold the Power button for 10-15 seconds to force a shutdown. Then, power on the console normally.
• Games load slowly or crash: Ensure the SD card is properly inserted. Some larger games may naturally have longer loading times. If issues persist across multiple games, the SD card may be corrupted or require reformatting (backup data first).
• Controls are unresponsive or drifting: Check for any physical obstructions around the buttons or analog sticks. If an analog stick exhibits "drift" (input without physical movement), it may indicate a hardware issue requiring repair or replacement.
• Cannot connect to Wi-Fi: Verify your Wi-Fi password and ensure the console is within range of your router. Restart both the console and your router.
• System updates fail: Ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection and sufficient battery charge. If updates consistently fail, consult online forums or manufacturer support for specific instructions related to the open-source Linux system.
