3. Operating Instructions

The HUD Smart Gauge operates in two primary modes: OBD2 and GPS. It can simultaneously display information from both modes.

OBD Mode Functions:

This mode is compatible with most vehicles manufactured after 2008 (or 2005 for European cars) and provides extensive vehicle data.

• Display Information: Vehicle speed, water temperature, voltage, fuel consumption, rotation speed (RPM), single trip mileage, total mileage, travel time, driving direction, number of satellites, altitude, current time, intake pressure, oil temperature, air-fuel ratio, turbine pressure, acceleration test results, brake test results, and data stream.
• Alarm Functions: Overspeed alarm, excessive rotation speed alarm, water temperature alarm, voltage alarm.
• Additional Features: Ability to clear fault codes.

GPS Mode Functions:

This mode is universally compatible with all vehicles and provides essential navigation and driving data.

• Display Information: Vehicle speed, voltage, satellite time, altitude, number of satellites, driving direction, single trip mileage, driving time, acceleration test results, brake test results.
• Alarm Functions: Overspeed alarm, low voltage alarm.

5. Ambient Light Feature

The HUD Smart Gauge includes an ambient light feature designed to enhance driving comfort and provide visual alerts.

• Normal Operation: During normal driving conditions, the ambient light will display a blue color. Its brightness automatically adjusts to the surrounding environment.
• Alarm Indication: If the device detects an abnormal driving condition, such as speeding or other triggered alarms, the ambient light will change to a flashing red color to alert the driver.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HUD Smart Gauge, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the display screen and the device's exterior. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface.
• Storage: If the device will not be used for an extended period, disconnect it from the vehicle's OBD port or USB power source and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the device to extreme heat or cold, as this can affect its electronic components.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your HUD Smart Gauge, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Device Not Powering On: Ensure the OBD cable or USB cable is securely connected to both the device and the vehicle's port. Verify that the vehicle's ignition is on. For 24V vehicles, confirm the USB cable is used.
• No Data Displayed (OBD Mode): Check if your vehicle is OBD2 compliant (generally post-2008 for most cars, post-2005 for European cars). Ensure the OBD cable connection is firm. Try restarting the vehicle and the device.
• Inaccurate Speed/GPS Data (GPS Mode): Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals. Driving in tunnels or heavily built-up areas may temporarily affect GPS accuracy.
• Alarms Triggering Incorrectly: Review the device settings to adjust alarm thresholds (e.g., overspeed limit).
• Clearing Fault Codes: The device supports clearing fault codes. Refer to the operating instructions for the specific menu option to perform this action.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact POCREATION customer support.
