page 6 MAN#650265
This gauge has two service meters. These are a countdown hour meter and a countdown odometer. Both service meters
can be disabled, or enabled independently. This allows for setting of two individual service points, one based on engine
run time, the other based on odometer.
When the setup point is reached,
SERV  will be displayed. Pressing the switch will clear the message until the next time
the key is turned on. Once the service has been done, use the switch to select the service meter that is due (display will
show a negative value or zero). Then press and hold the switch to reset the service meter to the value set in setup.
The service meter can be disabled by selecting  in setup. If a new value is set for the service meter, and the meter was
previously disabled, the service message may immediately be displayed. Reset the service meter to begin a new
countdown.
DIM OUT ( )
The dim out option allows the dim output to be turned on or off. The dim output is used if you have installed other Dakota
Digital gauges and would like this gauge to also control the dimming of these gauges. If the dim out option is turned on,
12v is sent out on the dim out wire when the gauge is dimming. In this mode, the gauge will be either in dim mode or full
brightness mode.
If no other gauges are to be dimmed (typical installation), this option can be set to off. In this mode the gauge will fade
when dimming and gauge dimming will be less noticeable. This option is set to off by default.
PRESET ODOMETER ( )
Within the first 10 miles (16km) after first installing the gauge, this option is available in the option menu. Selecting this
option will allow a ONE TIME preset of the odometer to the reading of the stock gauge. If this setting is not used within the
first 10 miles (16km) or an incorrect setting has been saved, the gauge will need to be returned to Dakota Digital for any
odometer adjustment. The procedure to preset the miles is as follows:
1. Select   from option menu in setup.
2. Verify that desired unit (MPH or km/hr) is displayed above message center. If not, turn off key to leave setup and
use unit option under speed to set correct unit. NOTE: Preset MUST be done with correct unit or odometer
will not be set correctly!
3. The current odometer value is displayed with the first digit blinking.
4. Press and release the switch to change the current digit. Press and hold the switch to move on to the next digit.
5. Repeat step 4 until all digits are set. After tenths digit is set, press and hold switch.
6. Speed display will read . Check the current unit and the odometer to make sure it is correct. If not, press and
hold the switch to go back to change it.
7. NOTE: Check the displayed odometer value VERY carefully before next step. After selecting yes, you will
no longer be able to change the odometer.
8. If the settings are all correct, press and release the switch. Speed display will now read 
9. Press and hold the switch to preset the odometer.
PRESET HOUR METER ( )
Within the first 1.0 engine hours after first installing the gauge, this option is available in the option menu. Selecting this
option will allow a ONE TIME preset of the hour meter to the reading of the stock gauge. If this setting is not used within
the first 1.0 engine hour or an incorrect setting has been saved, the gauge will need to be returned to Dakota Digital for
any hour meter adjustment. The procedure to preset the miles is as follows:
1. Select   from option menu in setup.
2. The current hour meter value is displayed with the first digit blinking.
3. Press and release the switch to change the current digit. Press and hold the switch to move on to the next digit.
4. Repeat step 3 until all digits are set. After tenths digit is set, press and hold switch.
5. Speed display will read . Check the hour meter reading to make sure it is correct. If not, press and hold the
switch to go back to change it.
6. NOTE: Check the displayed hour meter value VERY carefully before next step. After selecting yes, you will
no longer be able to change the hour meter.
7. If the settings are all correct, press and release the switch. Speed display will now read 
8. Press and hold the switch to preset the hour meter.
GAUGE WARNINGS
When a set warning point, set in setup menu, is reached for any of the gauge readings, the message center will display
and flash the reading that is at a warning point. Other message center functions are still available with the switch but the
gauge will return back to the warning display as long as the gauge is at a warning point. A warning will also be
displayed if the high temp signal is sent from the RZR regardless of the gauge reading.
