We were told by the dealer that it's a "trial-by-error" thing. The mechanic figured out the basic hook-up. However, with regard to setting the 9 calibrating switches on the device, after a couple of hours of going around and around the block with the mechanic stopping and making adjustment after adjustment (e.g., because the device was reading 70 mph when the coach was going 20 mph, for example), we realized the maddening absurdity of the situation because the number of combinations of those 9 switches is endless. Because we are good customers, the mechanic kindly agreed not to charge us for all this needless waste of time.
