500AL
This section briefly describes the use of the Trip 500AL display
unit. The use of the four buttons (PLUS, MINUS, MODE, SET/
CLEAR) and the sequence of data screens and settings screens
is explained. Descriptions of the information and options
available from each screen are explained separately in “Data
Screens” starting on page 12 and “Settings Screens” starting on
page 21.
Using the Four Buttons
The Trip 500AL has four buttons: PLUS, MINUS, MODE, and
SET/CLEAR. The general use of each button is explained
briefly below:
❏ PLUS/MINUS
When a digit or segment (e.g., MPH or KPH) is
flashing, use the PLUS and MINUS keys to
scroll forward or backward (respectively)
through the available options (usually 0 to 9).
When viewing any logged trip information
screen, use the PLUS and MINUS keys to page
forward or backward (respectively) through the
stored trips.
❏ SET/CLEAR
When entering codes or setting limits, the
flashing digit/segment indicates what will
change if PLUS or MINUS is pressed. Pressing
and releasing SET/CLEAR causes the next digit/
segment to begin flashing.
From the Driver ID Code screen, press and
hold SET/CLEAR (for at least 2 seconds) to “log
out.” The driver ID code is reset to 0000.
❏ MODE
Press and release MODE to move to the next
data or information screen.
Press and hold MODE to switch between the
group of data screens and the group of settings
screens.
When the unit is in sleep mode, press MODE
to “wake” the unit up.
