4.1. Physical Features
- Display: 2.4-inch TFT Color Screen (320 x 240 resolution).
- Buttons: Clearly arranged silicone physical buttons for high sensitivity and fast response.
- Housing: Anti-slip design on both sides for secure handling.
- Cable: Integrated, thick, and durable wire (up to 105 cm).
- Connectors: Standard OBD2 connector, with included 6-pin and 9-pin adapters for heavy-duty vehicles.
5. Setup
5.1. Connecting to the Vehicle
- Locate the vehicle's Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC). For 12V vehicles, this is typically a 16-pin OBD2 port. For heavy-duty 24V vehicles, it will be a 6-pin or 9-pin connector.
- If diagnosing a heavy-duty vehicle, attach the appropriate 6-pin or 9-pin adapter to the HD10's main cable, then connect to the vehicle's DLC. For 12V vehicles, connect the standard OBD2 connector directly.
- Ensure the connection is secure. The device will power on automatically once connected to the vehicle's power supply.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Loose connection to vehicle DLC; vehicle battery low; faulty cable. | Ensure the cable is securely connected. Check vehicle battery voltage. Try a different vehicle if possible to rule out a device issue. |
| Communication error with vehicle. | Incorrect protocol selected; vehicle ignition off; faulty vehicle DLC; device software outdated. | Verify vehicle ignition is ON. Ensure the correct vehicle type (12V/24V) and protocol are selected. Check the DLC for damage. Update device software. |
| Cannot clear DTCs. | Underlying fault still present; vehicle ignition off; specific vehicle system requirements. | Ensure the underlying issue causing the DTC has been resolved. Verify ignition is ON. Some vehicles require specific conditions for DTC clearing. |
| Screen is dim or unreadable. | Environmental lighting; display settings. | Adjust screen brightness in the Setup menu. Move to an area with less direct sunlight or glare. |
