GUIDE

HOW TO USE THE APPLICATIO3

• BE SURE to be connected to ELD before you start to operate the CMV. If you enter the app without connection, your device won’t record any events and receive values from the engine. Also, an “Engine Synchronization” Data Diagnostic event will be  recorded

• This Application was made for using it without switching to other applications.
  Do not proceed to login on another device using the same account. It will cause losing data on both.

• If you drive in a team – you and your co-driver should use one application, switching through the Co-drivers Interfac

• Do not minimize application when on duty. It will cause unidentified events.

• Do not shut the application before logging out. A driver can use multiple devices, but only when he logs out on the first one before logging in on the second one.

• A driver can verify if all the data was transferred by looking at the Settings → Records in Queue. It has to be 0.

•  To keep your data correct and anytime ready for a DOT Inspection we highly recommend certifying your logbook on a daily basis,
 monitoring your current Shipping/Trailer Numbers as well as presence of Malfunctions to solve a potential issue right away.
