OBEST X95 Multifunction GPS Meter and Inclinometer User Manual

1. Introduction

The OBEST X95 is a versatile multifunction meter designed for vehicles, providing essential driving data and safety warnings. It integrates a GPS speedometer, inclinometer, and head-up display (HUD) to offer real-time information directly within the driver's view. This manual provides detailed instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance of your X95 device.

2. Key Features

• Multifunction Display: Real-time display of GPS speed, altitude, pitch angle, roll angle, driving direction (compass), satellite count, signal strength, UTC time, day, total mileage, segment distance, latitude, and longitude.
• Warning Systems: Includes fatigue driving warning for long trips and overspeed alerts with visual icons and optional audible warnings.
• Wide Compatibility: Operates on 11.5V-30V, suitable for passenger cars, trucks, vans, and electric vehicles with 12V or 24V systems.
• High-Definition Color Screen: TFT display with optimized brightness for clear readability in various lighting conditions. Customizable display modes and menu settings for speed units (km/h, mph), speed alert limits, speed correction, sound (warning sound on/off), and system time.
• Dual Satellite Module: Enhances speed and altitude accuracy, even in challenging signal environments, by utilizing dual satellite reception channels. Displays current latitude/longitude and GPS reception quality.
• Integrated Inclinometer: Shows front-rear pitch angle and left-right roll angle, useful for off-road driving and navigating uneven terrain.
• Smart Power Management: Automatic power-on with vehicle ignition and standby mode (low current consumption) after engine shutdown to protect the car battery.

3. Setup and Installation

1. Choose Installation Location: Select a position on the dashboard on the driver's side that does not obstruct your view. The device has compact dimensions of 85mm x 73mm x 65mm.
2. Secure the Device: Use the provided adhesive base to firmly attach the X95 unit to the chosen dashboard location.
3. Connect Power: Plug the power cable into your vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter socket. The device is compatible with 11.5V to 30V power systems.
4. Power On: Start your vehicle. The X95 HUD will automatically power on, search for GPS satellites, and begin displaying data within a few seconds.

4.1 Display Modes and Data

The X95 offers various display modes to show different combinations of data. You can switch between these modes with a single touch. The device provides real-time information such as:

• GPS Speed (km/h or mph)
• Altitude
• Pitch Angle (front-rear)
• Roll Angle (left-right)
• Driving Direction (Compass)
• Number of Satellites & Signal Strength
• UTC Time & Day
• Total Mileage & Segment Distance
• Latitude & Longitude

4.2 Menu Settings

Access the menu to customize settings such as:

• Speed Unit: Switch between km/h and mph.
• Speed Alert Limit: Set your desired overspeed threshold.
• Speed Correction: Adjust for minor discrepancies.
• Sound: Toggle warning sounds on or off.
• System Time: Set the device's internal clock.

4.3 Inclinometer Function

The integrated inclinometer provides real-time pitch and roll angles:

• Pitch Angle (Front-Rear): Displayed on the left dial. A reading above +3 degrees indicates the vehicle's front is rising. A reading below -3 degrees indicates the front is descending or heavy braking is applied.
• Roll Angle (Left-Right): Displayed on the right dial. If the left tilt exceeds +3 degrees or the right tilt falls below -3 degrees, a vehicle icon on the display will visually represent the tilt. This feature is particularly useful for off-road driving, navigating steep inclines, sharp curves, or uneven terrain.

5. Warning Systems

The X95 is equipped with two primary warning systems to enhance driving safety:

• Fatigue Driving Warning: The device will issue an alert during prolonged periods of continuous driving, reminding the driver to take a break. This is especially beneficial for long-distance journeys.
• Overspeed Alert: When your vehicle exceeds the preset speed limit, an alert icon will appear on the screen. If the sound setting is enabled, an audible warning will also sound. This helps prevent accidental speeding.

Additionally, the device may provide vibration alerts and automatically activates upon vehicle ignition.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your OBEST X95, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device's screen and body. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface.
• Environmental Conditions: While designed for automotive use, avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures outside its operating range (-20°C to 75°C) for extended periods. Protect it from direct water exposure.
• Cable Management: Ensure the power cable is not pinched or damaged. Secure it properly to prevent interference with driving controls.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your OBEST X95, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Device does not power on:
  • Check if the power cable is securely connected to the 12V cigarette lighter socket.
  • Ensure the vehicle's ignition is on.
  • Verify that the vehicle's 12V socket is functioning correctly.
• No GPS signal or inaccurate data:
  • Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky. Tall buildings, tunnels, or dense foliage can obstruct GPS signals.
  • Allow a few minutes for the device to acquire satellites after startup.
  • Move the vehicle to an open area if signal acquisition is consistently poor.
• Inclinometer readings seem incorrect:
  • Ensure the device is mounted on a flat, stable surface on the dashboard.
  • The inclinometer may require a few moments to calibrate after startup or significant movement.
• Warning sounds are not working:
  • Check the sound settings in the device's menu to ensure warning sounds are enabled.

If problems persist, please contact customer support.
