Troubleshooting
Device does not turn on when plugged in
Verify that the OBDII port has power. Check if the vehicle ignition is set to the ON position and inspect the vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the diagnostic port.

Ensure the connection is secure and that the vehicle supports one of the standard OBDII protocols (KWP2000, J1850 VPW, ISO9141, J1850 PWM, or CAN).
The screen is hard to read
Adjust your viewing angle relative to the backlight and ensure the diagnostic port is providing a stable 12V connection from the vehicle battery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the scanner, ensure your vehicle ignition is set to the 'On' position, though the engine does not necessarily need to be running to read saved codes. Plug the cable directly into the 16-pin OBDII port of your vehicle; the device will power on automatically. Regarding compatibility, it supports standard protocols including `KWP2000`, `J1850 VPW`, `ISO9141`, `J1850 PWM`, and `CAN`. To care for your device, keep the cable coiled neatly when not in use to prevent internal wire breakage, and store the scanner in a cool, dry place to protect the LCD screen from extreme temperature fluctuations.
