FAQs and Troubleshooting
Q: What happens if system is exposed to Shock and Weather?
A: The Joyride™ system is a sensitive electronic device. As with all electronic devices,
avoid exposing the system to extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
In extremely cold temperatures, the speed of the display screen may be reduced, and
the display may appear to be dimmer. Also, the colors on the display may vary
depending on the thermal condition of the unit itself or the temperature in a vehicle.
These variations in the display screen are characteristics of the liquid crystal display
and are not due to a malfunction of the Joyride™ system.
Q: How do I warm boot?
A: Press the Reset button with the tip of a ballpoint pen to reset the system. This will reset
the software which will save all presets and not require any software to be reloaded.
Q: How do I install the software?
A: You can install or upgrade software in your Joyride™ system by inserting the software
program’s setup disc or a CompactFlash card that has the operating system software,
navigation software, phone software or any other software. Also, when adding new
peripheral devices, you may need to install the appropriate device drivers. The vehicle
should be parked in a level position when new software is being installed so that all of
your attention can be given to the system.
Note that if the vehicle is started, or if the ACC (ignition switch) is turned Off while software
is being installed, the resulting voltage fluctuation may harm the unit. This could also result
in an abnormal installation or malfunction.
