• Overspeed Alarm: An audible alert will sound if your vehicle speed exceeds 150 km/h (or a user-defined limit, if configurable).
• Water Temperature Alarm: An alarm will activate if the engine water temperature exceeds 120 degrees Celsius, indicating potential overheating.
• Speed (RPM) Alarm: If the engine RPM exceeds 5000, an alarm will sound, prompting you to check engine load or gear selection.
• Voltage Alarm: An alert is triggered if the vehicle's voltage drops below 11V, indicating a potential issue with the battery or charging system.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Heads-Up Display, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the display surface and the unit's casing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods when not in use, or excessive moisture.
• Cable Care: Ensure the USB cable is not pinched or strained, as this can lead to damage and intermittent connectivity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Heads-Up Display, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Display/Intermittent Display:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the HUD unit and the vehicle's USB port.
  • Verify that the vehicle's ignition is on.
  • If the signal attenuates in indoor or signal-blocked spaces, reposition the unit near windows for optimal performance.
• Inaccurate Readings:
  • Ensure the unit is properly calibrated (if calibration options are available, refer to advanced settings not covered in this basic manual).
  • Check for any obstructions between the unit and the windshield that might distort the projection.
• Display Too Dim/Bright:
  • The unit features automatic brightness adjustment. Ensure the light sensor on the unit is not obstructed.
  • If manual brightness adjustment is available, use the control buttons to adjust.
