4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Dual System Functionality (OBD+GPS)

The device operates with a dual system, automatically detecting the available connection:

• OBD System: Communicates strictly in accordance with SAE J1939 Protocol Standard. This CAN communication system is stable and can read over 100 data items from your car, including speed, RPM, water temperature, voltage, fuel consumption, and more.
• Sistema GPS: When OBD data is unavailable or for universal compatibility, the GPS system provides data such as speed, date, time, altitude, driving direction, latitude, longitude, and number of satellites.

4.2 Ambient Light Function

The integrated LED ambient lighting provides visual feedback on the device's status:

• Funzionamento normale: The light illuminates normally after booting, displaying a blue color. The brightness adjusts with the surrounding environment.
• Stato di allarme: When an alarm condition is triggered (e.g., overspeed, high water temperature), the light turns red and flashes, maintaining its brightest state for clear visibility.
• Controllo della luminosità: The brightness can be manually adjusted or turned off. Even if turned off, it will still flash red in case of an alarm.
