Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on or restarts frequently. | Loose power connection, insufficient power supply, faulty cable. | Ensure power cables are securely connected. Check if the power source (DC adapter or car charger) is functioning correctly. If using in a car, verify the car's 12V outlet is active. Consider trying a different power cable if available. |
| Cannot connect to WiFi or screen mirroring fails. | Incorrect WiFi password, out of range, phone and monitor on different networks. | Verify the WiFi password. Ensure the monitor is within range of the WiFi router or hotspot. For screen mirroring, confirm both the phone and monitor are connected to the same WiFi network. Restart both devices. |
| Weak or muffled sound from built-in speakers. | Speaker volume too low, audio settings, inherent speaker limitations. | Increase the volume on the device. Check audio settings. For better audio quality, connect external headphones via Bluetooth or the headphone jack, or use the FM transmitter to play audio through your car's sound system. |
| Monitor does not retain settings or power when the car is off. | Device requires continuous power; no internal battery for extended off-car use. | This device is designed to operate when connected to a power source (car 12V or DC adapter). It does not have an internal battery for portable use when disconnected from power. Ensure the car's ignition is on or the DC adapter is plugged in for operation. |
| Difficulty with physical installation or removal from mount. | Incorrect mounting procedure, tight fit. | Refer to the installation steps carefully. Ensure the universal bracket is correctly oriented and secured. When removing, apply gentle but firm pressure to release the locking mechanism. Avoid excessive force. |
