Installation and
Setup

Install ELD Hardware
Begin by locating the ECM (diagnostic) port in your
vehicle. This port is typically found on or near the
dashboard, under the steering column, or close to the
drivers seat. Depending on your vehicle type, use the
appropriate connection:
6-pin Connector: Common in older commercial
vehicles.
9-pin Connector: Standard in most modern
commercial trucks
OBDII Connector: Typically found in light
commercial vehicles and passenger cars
Once you've identified the correct connector, securely
attach the ELD hardware to the port using the
appropriate cable provided. Ensure the ELD device is
firmly mounted on your dashboard where it remains
visible and accessible for operation. This placement is
crucial for ease of use during your driving and inspection
processes.
