Vehicle’s speedometer is usually read 3~5mph faster than ECO STAR’s GPS speed. It is designed slightly in excess of actual speeds to prevent speeding tickets. It is recommended that you follow your vehicle’s speedometer to ensure you stay lower than the posted speed limit.

To ensure accurate detection of your driving behavior, please firmly fix ECO STAR on the dashboard and do not move it before you turn on vehicle switch to “ACC” position.

Please read this section carefully before using the ECO STAR:

• For safety, do not operate the device while driving.

• Please note windows film may interfere and affect GPS signals.

• Keep the ECO STAR far from heat or high temperature environment. We recommend not to expose your ECO STAR in temperature higher than 145°F/60°C to prevent the device from overheating, exploding or melting itself.

• Do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

• For your safety, take care to route all cables away from shifters, pedals, accessory controls and mechanisms. Do not mount the devices in a place where the driver or passengers may receive injury during vehicle operation or collision.

ECO STAR is built in GPS module which needs to be used outdoor or under open sky environment. Once power on device it will be automatically searching for satellite signals, it may take 30 seconds to 3 minutes to get satellites connected depending on the environment. When the right screen display (showing signal bars), means ECO STAR is searching for GPS satellite signals.

Please switch the power button to On for first-time use, and start the vehicle engine. (Note: ECO STAR can be only turned on with power supplied). When Startup, ECO STAR will display various greetings randomly and seat belt reminder on the screen.

ECO STAR will prompt to display configuration menu for the first-time startup. After setting the language, Unit, Time Zone, Time format, select “Apply” to complete the first-time startup procedures and configuration. You can also manually adjust them in Setting mode later on.

Once connected with satellites, ECO STAR will start to show your real-time driving status. Real-time driving status is categorized with four types as below:

(1) Stable driving status: If the driving is smoothly, accelerating gently and avoid unnecessary braking, LED will light solid green indicating ECO and the screen will show right animation with day or night mode to advise that you are currently on stable driving status.

(2) Unstable driving status: When the driving is unstable, accelerating and braking sharply, ECO STAR will make a beep warning sound. LED will be flashing red then turning solid red indicating Non-ECO, the screen will show right animation to advise that you are currently on unstable driving status.

(3) Start Status: Depending on the stability of each time you start your vehicle, ECO STAR will advise you if it’s a Good start or non-ECO start. Good start can help you to achieve the purpose of energy saving and driving safety.

• Good Start screen: ECO STAR will make a beep sound; LED will light solid green for 3 sec. indicating ECO.

• Non-ECO Start screen: ECO STAR will make a beep sound; LED will light solid red for 3 sec. indicating Non-ECO.

(4) Temporary stop screen: Once you stops, ECO Star will turn to display today fuel efficiency and real-time comparison status. When vehicle is temporarily stop (vehicle not yet reach the set idling time), the screen will display today fuel efficiency by tree. The more the number of trees appear, the higher fuel efficiency it is. At the same time dynamically advise whether your driving is getting better, stay unchanged or getting worse comparing with previous day-drive. This allows you to work and progress day by day to achieve safe and energy-efficient driving. (Screens show “Getting Better”, “Stay Unchanged”, “Getting Worse” based on comparison).

ECO STAR will alarm various dangerous driving warning according to your alarm setting. You can enter setting mode to adjust the Alarm settings.

(1) Over speed Alarm screen: Over speed alarm screen will appear when the speed exceeds the set speed condition. Red LED will light on and beep to warn driver you are speeding. Alarm will be continued until speed is lower than set speed.
