What you need before operating the ELD?

Your mobile device (where the ELD app is running) must a) have Bluetooth enabled
and b) be connected to the internet either with a cellular data plan or connected to a hot
spot.
Installing the ECM device:
Please plug the ECM device to the vehicles diagnostic port. In some cases, you might
need to use the ECM adapter to plug the device on J1939 port.
Locate the diagnostic port (see image below for possible locations depending on vehicles
make, model and year).
% For the ELD to remain compliant, it must remain connected to the ECM device and read engine

data. Engine data is only available when the vehicles engine is turned on.

Local Support Account (initial ELD configuration)
The initial configuration is only required right after installing the ELD app for the first
time and it is no longer needed after. The objective is to initially configure a vehicle
profile (tractor number, VIN number) and connect/test the ECM device connection.

login (see list below) or to manually enter (if allowed) a new truck or
trailer. Once you select a tractor or trailer from the downloaded list
the ELD will always use the VIN number, license plate and
registration state displayed on the list:
