- Power On: Once connected, the HUD will power on automatically. It will begin searching for GPS satellite signals. The satellite icon will flash during this process.
- GPS Signal Acquisition: After the HUD successfully acquires a GPS signal, the satellite icon will stop flashing and remain steadily lit. The display will then show your current speed.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| HUD does not power on. | No power supply or faulty cable. | Check USB cable connection. Ensure the vehicle's USB port or adapter is functioning. Try a different USB power source. |
| No speed display / Satellite icon flashing. | No GPS signal. | Ensure the vehicle is outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Move the HUD to a location with better signal reception. Wait for the satellite icon to become solid. |
| Inaccurate speed reading. | GPS signal interference or initial calibration. | Ensure a strong GPS signal. Compare with vehicle's speedometer and adjust calibration if available in settings (refer to physical manual for specific steps). |
| Display is too dim or too bright. | Automatic brightness adjustment or manual setting. | The photosensitive element adjusts brightness automatically. If manual adjustment is preferred, refer to the physical manual for instructions on using the dial button to change brightness settings. |
