3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Mounting the Device

The aphqua 722 comes with a U-shaped mounting kit and a secure screw system designed for easy attachment to most motorcycle handlebars. Ensure the screen is securely fastened to prevent movement during riding.

3.2 Power Connection

There are two primary methods for powering the device:

1. Direct Battery Connection: Connect the provided power cable directly to your motorcycle's ACC +12V and ground. This is the recommended method for stable power supply.
2. USB Cable Connection: If your motorcycle has a USB port, you can use the USB cable. However, ensure the USB port provides a voltage and current of 5V, 2.5A or more. Insufficient voltage or current (e.g., below 5V, 2.5A) can lead to the CarPlay screen turning off unexpectedly.

After connecting the power, the device should power on automatically when the motorcycle is started.

4. Operating Instructions

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your aphqua 722, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Screen Turns Off Unexpectedly: This may be due to insufficient power supply. If using the USB cable, ensure your motorcycle's USB port provides at least 5V, 2.5A. It is recommended to connect the power cable directly to the motorcycle battery for stable power.
• App Incompatibility: Some third-party applications may not be compatible with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. This is typically due to the app developers not having agreed with Apple or Google for integration. Use apps that are officially supported.
• Wireless Connection Issues: Ensure your smartphone meets the compatibility requirements (iPhone 6+/iOS 13+ for CarPlay; Android 11+/5GHz Wi-Fi for Android Auto). Verify that VPN is disabled on Android devices.
• Specific Phone Model Issues: The device is not fully compatible with some Samsung Note and S series, Huawei, and Xiaomi phones. Before purchasing, confirm your specific phone model supports wireless CarPlay or Android Auto.
• No Audio Output: Ensure your Bluetooth headset or motorcycle headphones are properly paired with either the aphqua 722 (in BT Trans mode) or your smartphone (in CarPlay/Android Auto mode). Check volume levels on both the device and your headset.
