Battery Operation
The DriveRight 130AL is designed to be taken out of your vehicle so the data may
be reviewed anywhere. If you disconnect the unit from its power source (the vehi-
cle) it will automatically switch to battery power. The word BAT appear in the
lower left corner of all screens to indicate that you are running on battery power.
NOTE: If you notice that the LCD is fading when running on battery power, it means
your battery power is low. You should replace your battery as soon as possible.
To install a new battery, insert the battery as shown below.
Installing the Battery
When operating under battery power, the unit will undergo a few changes in opera-
tion in order to conserve battery power:
• If you go more than 5 minutes without pressing a button, the
unit enters “sleep mode”: In sleep mode, all but the most essential unit
functions (that is, time and date) are shut down. The display will go blank and
no data will be recorded during the time when the unit is “asleep.”
NOTE: The unit will never go into sleep mode when connected to your vehicle’s
battery.
To “wake up” the unit, press MODE. Note that you must press MODE to
wake the unit up. Simply reconnecting the unit to your car’s battery will not
wake it up to begin recording data. You must press MODE.
