Welcome to CarChip

1. Select Set Speed Bands... from the CarChip menu. The CarChip / Set Speed Bands dialog box

displays.

2. Enter the maximum threshold speed for each of the first three speed bands. The fourth speed band

consists of all speeds greater than the last threshold, or click Default to use the software default
threshold settings. The default speed thresholds are: 45, 60, and 75 mph (US); 72, 97, and 121 kph
(Metric); and 20.1, 26.8 and 33.5 m/s (S.I.).

3. Click OK to save the new speed band settings. Click Cancel to exit the dialog box without saving

changes to the settings.

Note: The speed threshold displaying in the fourth speed band is also the threshold that triggers the
audible alarm on the CarChip E/X with Alarm (product 8225) model. When this speed band is exceeded in
a vehicle, the alarm sounds until the vehicle is no longer over the speed band threshold. See Enable
CarChip Alarm for more information on using the CarChip Alarm feature.

Set Braking Thresholds

Use the Set Braking Thresholds dialog box to enter the rates of deceleration that define hard braking
and extreme braking. Accident Logs are created based on the thresholds set in this dialog box.
To set braking thresholds:

1. Select Set Braking Thresholds from the CarChip menu. The CarChip / Set Braking Thresholds

dialog box displays.

2. Enter your desired hard and extreme braking thresholds or click Default to use the software default

threshold settings. The default braking thresholds are: 0.28 and 0.48 G (US & Metric) and 2.8 and
4.7 m/s

(S.I.).

3. Click OK to save the new settings. Click Cancel to exit the dialog box and retain the previous

settings.

Note: Note: The extreme braking threshold is also the threshold that triggers the audible alarm on the
CarChip E/X with Alarm (product 8225) model. When this breaking threshold is exceeded in a vehicle, the
alarm sounds until the vehicle is no longer exceeding the braking threshold. See Enable CarChip Alarm for
more information on using the CarChip Alarm feature.
