How to use it in the car 

How to "Split a trip" 


Say you drive to a location for personal reasons.

At the destination, you stop, but only for a few seconds to drop someone off, then drive away from this location.

Since you did not stop long enough, the instrument will keep record the entire trip into one continue trip with the type you selected at the start. 


Reason 1

you need to record the address of this destination even if you stopped for a short time 


Reason 2

You are delivery man, you only stop for a minute at each destination, and you need to record every leg of your trip. 


Reason 3

You are making a trip that will include different trip types on the way.   


Pretend you are driving from location A to location B in personal mode, you stop only for a minute at location B. You leave from location B to go to location C but this leg is a business trip.

Since you were in personal mode, from point A to B, you need to tell the instrument point B to point C will be business.  

Because you are changing trip type, logically, this becomes a new trip altogether.


To tell the instrument you need to start a new trip from this point.


  1. Press and hold the blue button
  2. The instrument will sound 1 long beep followed by 4 short beep. 
  3. Release the button after the 4 short beeps
  4. If you are already moving, the instrument will sound the new trip sound.
  5. At this point, press the button to tell this is a business trip or don't press if it is personal 


NOTE 

If you press and hold the button like in step 2, while you are not moving New Trip Start sound will only happen once you start moving again .  Since it's a new trip, it will act like when you start any other new trip.
