Battery Life
When removed from a vehicle, the DriveRight unit taps into its
own battery for power (instead of relying on the vehicle’s battery).
On the unit’s battery alone, a unit will operate for 260 hours or, in
sleep mode for 4 months.
The life of the unit’s battery depends on your download schedule.
For example, if you take the unit out of the vehicle 5 days a week,
8 hours a day, the unit’s 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 unit to
the vehicle, we recommend replacing the battery every year. If at
any time the LCD display begins dimming, the battery is low and
due for replacement.
If you plan to store a unit out-of-vehicle for more than a week, we
recommend removing the battery. When you replace the battery,
data and settings are not lost but you will need to reset the date
and time.
Display Lamp
To read the DriveRight 600 at night, use the display lamp. To toggle
the display lamp on and off, press PLUS when viewing the Current
Readings screen. Be aware that the display lamp does not work
when the unit is operating on battery power.
NOTE:
The display lamp automatically shuts itself off after 10 minutes
if the vehicle is stopped.
Restarting the DriveRight 600
If DriveRight 600 display “locks up,” you may restart the DriveRi-
ght 600 by pressing and releasing MODE and PLUS at the same
time. No log data, settings, or code information is lost when you
restart the unit.
NOTE:
The tamper indicator will appear if you restart the unit in this
way, if the tamper indicator light is set.
If the DriveRight 600 is still locked up, you must remove and re-
insert the battery and reset the time.
