Congratulations on purchasing the Davis DriveRight 130AL! The DriveRight
130AL uses advanced microprocessor technology to record and track driver and
vehicle performance. You may set your own limits for speed, acceleration, and
deceleration. An alarm will sound whenever the limits are exceeded. Data is
logged for 130 days so you can review the information at a later date. The Drive-
Right 130AL even maintains an accident log which gives you a look at the vehi-
cle’s speed information just prior to an accident.
The DriveRight 130AL also features many security features to ensure the integrity
of the data. A password code prevents unauthorized clearing of data or changing of
limits. A tamper indicator appears any time power is removed from the unit and
remains on the display until the correct password is re-entered. All data stored in
the log is protected in “non-volatile” memory which means that it cannot be lost
even if the power is removed and the wires cut!
NOTE:
This manual explains the operation of the DriveRight 130AL. For infor-
mation on installing and mounting the unit, consult the Installation Guide.
A Word About Safe Use
It goes without saying that you should never attempt to set or calibrate the
DriveRight 130AL while you are driving. Safe driving requires extreme atten-
tiveness. The manipulation of the DriveRight 130AL while driving may result in
dangerous distraction. Stop the vehicle first, then, if necessary, recruit someone
to help you.
If you allow others to use your vehicle, always warn them about the DriveRight
130AL’s alarms. If they exceed a set limit, causing an alarm to sound, they may be
startled by the noise or they may get distracted while trying to trace the source of
the noise. In either case, this may become a safety concern, so warn them in
advance.
