Hi All,
Quick question about the date/time. I have a DR500 and has worked well over the last year. The date and time have gone from being current to showing only 1/26/2030 over the past few days. The car is driven about 20 minutes, then turned off. I unplug the unit because I don't have the PowerMagic set up yet, and I really don't want to drain the battery. I'm thinking that I may have an onboard battery issue as the GPS and speed indicators work ok. It is just the date and time.
Need your thoughts as to how I can remedy this. I read that the onboard battery needs charging? If so, do I only need to run the car on a short trip (say 30-60 minutes)? If not, do I need to change the battery?
Thanks for the help!
