Test the notification path
Disconnect from the adapter to use the alert Test button. Enable phone notifications if requested. Silent mode or the vehicle’s selected audio source can hide sound alerts. Choose one sound-producing action to avoid competing audio. Reconnect after testing; never create an actual overheating condition to prove an alert works.
