  • Reset Function: In case of abnormal operation or if the unit becomes inoperable, a RESET button (accessible with the tip of a pen) can be pressed to reset the main processor to default settings.
  • Battery Management (Remote Control): The remote control uses a 3-volt Lithium CR2025 battery. The battery insulation tape should be removed before first use. If the remote will not be used for an extended period (a month or longer), the battery should be removed. Proper disposal of batteries is advised, and they should not be stored with metallic objects.
  • Installation Guidelines: To prevent damage, the unit should be securely grounded to the vehicle chassis. It should not be installed in locations exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat, dust, dirt, or excessive vibration. Professional installation is recommended due to the technical nature of the product.
  • Wiring Precautions: When extending ignition, battery, or ground cables, automotive-grade cables with an area of 0.75mm (AWG 18) or more should be used to prevent voltage drops.
  • Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting guide to help diagnose common issues such as power problems, no sound, blowing fuses, or display malfunctions. This guide provides actions to take before seeking professional service.
