10.3 Simplified Configuration Procedures
These simplified configuration procedures can be used to quickly set up the parameters without navigating
through the entire user interface.
1. Simple configuration of the gas gauge with default or custom data:
(a) Open the current EV software, and click the bqEASY button in the left column of buttons below the
"Calibrate" button in the EV software.
(b) Click the "2. Configure" tab at the top row of bqEASY™ tabs. (Note: You can skip the first tab.)
(c) Answer all questions, or leave defaults for all of tab "2", but be sure to click the "OK" button at the
bottom of each tab "2" page to ensure that a Completion Checkmark appears for each page.
