Troubleshooting Guide
Battery Life
When removed from a vehicle, the DriveRight 600
E
taps into its own
battery for power (instead of relying on the vehicle’s battery). A
DriveRight 600
E
can operate for 260 hours or up to 4 months in sleep
mode on battery power alone.
The life of the battery depends on the download schedule. For example,
if the DriveRight 600
E
is taken out of the vehicle 5 days a week, 8
hours a day, the battery can last up to 16 months. In that situation,
because not all out-of-vehicle time will be spent in sleep mode and
because of the occasional delay in returning the DriveRight 600
E
to the
vehicle, Davis Instruments recommends replacing the battery every
year. If at any time the LCD display begins dimming, the battery is low
and due for replacement.
If storing a DriveRight 600
E
outside of the vehicle for more than a
week, Davis Instruments recommends removing the battery. When the
battery is replaced, data and settings are not lost but date and time
should be reset.
Display Lamp
To read the DriveRight 600
E
at night, use the display lamp. To toggle
the display lamp on and off, press PLUS when viewing the Current
Readings Screen. The display lamp does not work when the DriveRight
600
E
is operating on battery power.
Note: The display lamp automatically shuts itself off once the logout time has elapsed.
Restarting the DriveRight 600
E
If the DriveRight 600
E
is locked up, remove and re-insert the battery. If
done within 20 seconds, the time and date settings will not be lost. Any
time the DriveRight 600
E
is restarted by removing and reinserting the
battery, a tamper is logged.
Troubleshooting Guide
While the DriveRight 600
E
is designed to provide years of trouble-free
operation, occasional problems may arise. If you are having a problem
with your DriveRight 600
E
, please check the following guide before
calling the factory. You will be able to solve many of the problems
yourself. If, after checking this guide, you are still unable to solve the
