I own a BR6 and am going to be doing my first rally abroad. Can you tell me how I would calibrate my meter in kilometers.
Thanks,
Roger

Hi,
Calibration in Kilometers is just as easy as calibrating in Miles.
First of all you need a known measured distance, say 4.56Km
Enter 456 into your calibration push-wheel switches on the front of your International
Draw up at the start of the measured distance and zero both Displays
Drive your measured distance and exactly on the end of the measured distance note down the readings in the Distance Displays (they should both match) i.e. 06.78
Enter what was shown on the Display into the Push-Wheel Switches ignoring the decimal point i.e 678
Now re-drive that measured distance a couple of times and check you get exactly 04.56 on both displays consistently.
If you already have a very accurate calibration distance in Miles, you can multiply your calibration figure by 1.6093, enter your new figure and proceed to the re-driving stage of the above instructions.
If you were going from Kilometers to Miles you would divide your current calibration figure by 1.6093, enter your new figure and proceed to the re-driving stage of the above instructions.
