Device Communication Problems
Take the following steps if the software does not communicate with a DriveRight or CarChip
device:
1. DriveRight devices only - Check to make sure the DriveRight console is in the
CURRENT mode instead of in sleep mode. If the LCD screen is blank, the console is in
sleep mode. Press the MODE key to put the console in active mode..
2. Check that the correct Serial Port is selected.
3. If you have other programs running which use the serial port, such as the Palm HotSync
Manager and the CarChip software, close those programs and try again.
4. Check if the hardware is ok and that you have a working communication port. If
necessary, contact your PC supplier.
