Holding the “Mode” button for more than
one second while the display is showing
“ADJXXX.X” will set the amount in
the display “XXX.X” into the Trip Fuel
Consumed and return to the Trip Fuel

The difference between the original and the
new amount of fuel will be used to change
the calibration of the instant and accumulated
fuel data.
This feature allows the fuel flow system to be
calibrated by accurately filling the fuel tank
at the beginning and end of a trip. When the
tank is refilled at the end of the trip, record
the exact amount of fuel placed in the tank.
Using the above method, adjust the amount
of fuel shown in the “ADJ TRP” to match the
amount of fuel recorded. Save the corrected
amount as described above. The “Trip Fuel
Consumed” in the previous menu can then
be cleared for reuse or left to continue to
accumulate fuel usage.
Fuel Remaining
Displays the fuel remaining based on a
manually entered amount of fuel minus the
amount of “Trip Fuel Consumed.”
Display shows “REMXXX.X.” This reading
is independent of the fuel “gauge” reading.
In normal use, the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank is adjusted manually when the fuel
tank is filled so that this display shows the
total amount of fuel in the tank. The “Trip
Fuel Consumed” is then reset to zero. As
fuel is used (displayed in the “Trip Fuel
Consumed” display) this display will show
the decreasing amount of fuel remaining.
Pressing the “Mode” for more than one second
will access the option available for this function.

decrease the amount.
Holding the “Mode” button for more than
one second will set the remaining fuel to the
value shown in the display and return the
menu to the Fuel Remaining alarm Setting
function.
This feature allows the operator to accurately
set the amount of fuel in the fuel tank when
adding fuel. The accuracy of this manually
entered value directly affects the Fuel
Remaining and Fuel Remaining Alarm
functions, and should be done carefully.
