      • Calibrating Using the Speedometer
    • Note: If the security code is protected, enter the code number. The Calibration Screens can not be accessed until the security code is entered.
      • 1. Press and hold MODE to access the Settings Screens.
      • 2. Enter the security code in the Security Code Screen.
      • 3. Press and release MODE until the Calibration Screen displays.
      • The calibration speed (40 or 25) is located at the bottom right of the display. The uncalibrated speed reading is located at the...

        • 4. Drive the vehicle until it reaches 40 km/h (25 mph) and keep the vehicle steady at that speed.
        • 5. Press and hold SET/CLEAR once the vehicle is moving steadily at the calibration speed.
        • The word CAL appears in the top right of the display. This indicates that the DriveRight 600e is in the process of calibrating.

      • Unit Finished Calibrating
        • 7. Once the calibration is complete, drive the vehicle and compare the vehicle’s speedometer to the DriveRight 600e’s speed display.
        • Be aware that the DriveRight 600e responds to changes in speed faster than most vehicles’ speedometers. To accurately compare, drive steadily at one speed for a short time.
          • 8. Fine tune the calibration by pressing PLUS or MINUS.
        • Each time PLUS or MINUS is pressed, the DriveRight 600e speed reading adjusts up or down. Depending on the speed of the vehicle ...
    • Note: Pressing and holding PLUS or MINUS increases the rate at which the DriveRight 600e adjusts the speed reading.
      • 9. Continue to press PLUS or MINUS until the DriveRight 600e’s speed reading agrees with the vehicle’s speedometer at a variety of speeds.
      • 10. When you are finished calibrating, press and hold MODE until the Current Readings Screen displays. All calibration information is automatically saved.
    • Note: Do not press and hold SET/CLEAR in an effort to save the fine-tuned calibration. The DriveRight 600e resets the calibration number if SET/CLEAR is pressed.
      • Calibrating Using Distance Readings
    • Note: Davis Instruments recommends that you drive a minimum of 32km (20 miles) when calibrating the DriveRight 600e using its distance reading.
      • 1. Obtain a rough calibration, using the speedometer as described in “Calibrating Using the Speedometer” on page 5.
      • 2. Reset the vehicle’s trip meter to zero or note the odometer reading.
      • 3. Start a new trip on the DriveRight 600e (i.e., the distance traveled is 0) and make sure the Current Readings Screen is being displayed.
      • To forcibly start a new trip, log out (see page 11 for details).
        • 4. Drive the vehicle for at least 32 km (20 miles). The calibration becomes more accurate the further the vehicle is driven.
        • 5. When finished driving, compare the vehicle’s distance reading to the distance reading on the DriveRight 600e.
        • 6. Increase or decrease the distance measured by the DriveRight 600e until it agrees with the vehicle’s odometer reading. This is accomplished from the Calibration Screen.
        • 7. Press and hold MODE to access the Settings Screens.
        • 8. Press and release MODE until the Calibration Screen displays.
      • The distance traveled appears at the lower left of the display. Note that until the DriveRight 600e is calibrated, this distance...
        • 9. Press PLUS or MINUS until the distance reading matches the distance on the vehicle.
    • Note: Pressing and holding PLUS or MINUS increases the rate at which the DriveRight 600e adjusts the distance reading.
      • 10. When finished calibrating, press and hold MODE until the Current Readings Screen displays. All calibration information is automatically saved.
    • Note: Do not press and hold SET/CLEAR in an effort to save the fine-tuned calibration. The DriveRight 600e completely resets the calibration number if SET/CLEAR is pressed.

    • Note: Although trip type can be specified using the DriveRight 600e display device, FMS must be used to view the trip type for each trip.
    • Note: The lamp does not turn off if the vehicle is in motion. The lamp automatically turns off once the log out time has elapsed.
