How to correct the clock on your ATA taximeter yourself, without a trip to the installer. Covers the button layout, the seven-day rule, the plus/minus two-minute limit, and the eight presses that get it done.
Extra passengers, luggage, whatever your tariff allows. How to add an extra, take one off, and the two-button press that clears them all when you have added one by mistake.
The passenger who rings back an hour later looking for a receipt for expenses. Reprint the last job with one button, or pick any of the last ten stored jobs by date.
Day and night brightness are two separate settings on the same meter. Here is how to set each one, and the common mistake that has the display jumping every time you drive under a bridge.
Think the meter isn't charging the distance you're actually covering? Check it yourself in under a minute. Where the TESTS menu lives, how to start the pulse count, and what a rising count — or a count stuck on zero — is telling you.
Read exactly what your meter is charging — drop, minimum fare, initial charge, hourly and kilometre rates — and print the serial numbers and software versions before your Applus appointment.
Your own running figures — takings, extras, distance and jobs since the last clear-down. How to read them, how to print them, and how to reset them at the end of a shift or a week.
The meter's lifetime totals — the figures that can never be cleared by anyone, and that may be checked at verification. Where to find them, how to print them, and what each reading actually means.
