| Illustration 3 | g00363840 |
Press and hold "SET UP/SELECT" switch (1) again for three seconds in order to enter mode 1 and the display for implement width. Release the switch when you hear a beep. The display for implement width is shown in four digits. The display will appear as "000.0" feet or "00.00" meters (3). The left hand digit (4) will be flashing. "IMP WIDTH CAL" (5) will also be displayed. An "FT" or "METERS" will also be displayed. The letters "FT" (6) indicate that the implement width is measured in feet. The word "METERS" (6) indicates that the implement width is measured in meters.
Note: When you are programming the EMC, use "DIGIT SELECT" switch (7) and "DIGIT SET" switch (8) in order to change the value of a flashing digit. Pressing the "DIGIT SET" switch (8) increases the value of the flashing digit. The value that is shown will cycle between zero and the highest digit that is available for that function. Pressing the "DIGIT SELECT" switch (7) will cause the next digit to the right to begin flashing. When the right hand digit is flashing, pressing the "DIGIT SELECT" switch (7) will select the left hand digit.
Note: The "DIGIT SET" and "DIGIT SELECT" switches can be used in order to reset the values that are displayed to zero. The "START/STOP" switch (9) provides a simpler method for resetting values to zero. Press and hold the "START/STOP" switch (9) for three seconds until a beep is heard. This procedure can also be used to reset the value that is displayed to zero before entering new values.
For example, in order to set an implement width of 12.5 feet, a display of 012.5 is required. Press and hold the "START/STOP" switch for 3 seconds in order to reset the display to all zeroes. Next, use the "DIGIT SELECT" and "DIGIT SET" switches in order to change the display to 012.5.
Note: The area that is measured will only be accurate if there is no overlap from the previous pass. In order to compensate for overlap, subtract the estimated overlap from the actual width of the implement when you enter the value.
When the desired implement width is displayed, press the "SET UP/SELECT" switch in order to enter the implement width into memory. If the machine is equipped with a ground speed sensor, the display will change to the "%SLIP alarm". If the machine is not equipped with a ground speed sensor, the display will change to the "SERVICE l".

400 Foot Calibration
 | |
| Illustration 9 | g00630794 |
Note: If symbol (21) appears a failure has occurred in the calibration procedure. Repeat the calibration procedure.
A 122 m (400 ft) course can be used as an alternate method in order to calibrate the ground speed. This method will typically achieve the most accurate ground speed reading. This method should be performed if the previous method does not work correctly. In order to perform this method, use the following steps:
- Ensure that the EMC is in the calibration mode for ground speed.
- Lay out a 122 m (400 ft) course which is straight and relatively flat.
- Drive the machine to the start of the course. Press "START/STOP" switch (9) .
- Drive the machine to the end of the course and press the "START/STOP" switch (9) again. The Electronic Monitoring Center will store a calibration number for accurate ground speed.
Note: If the machine is equipped with a ground speed sensor, the calibration number that is stored may be slightly modified by the system. This occurs once a speed of 10 mph is reached.
