Note: Attempt to create a new event such as Off Duty, On Duty, Sleeper Berth in the middle of an automatically
Driving event is not allowed, instead an error dialog is displayed stating "Error: shortening of prior driving event is
not allowed. Select a time before or after the driving event."

When the app is able to obtain a valid GPS fix, the Location field will be automatically
populated with the current location information of the user. If there is no GPS fix, the
Location field will remain blank, in this instance; you must manually input the relevant
details.
Once all relevant details have been entered and the correct duty status selected, tap the
OK button to save the new duty status event. You can also select the Cancel button to
cancel adding the selected duty status.
Changing the status to On Duty or Driving also enables the options for Personal Use and
Off Road. Personal Use is mentioned in the FMCSAs Supplemental Proposal, which was
published on March 28, 2014, that mandates ELDs for most drivers of CMVs that currently
log. The proposal says that ELDs may be set up to allow drivers to put themselves in a
special driving category called personal use. When a driver selects this option, the ELD
will record the time as off duty until the driver de-selects the option. Off Road, on the
other hand, means that the vehicle is running on rough terrain. Lastly, Yard Moves, has
been established under a mandate which allows a driver or another personnel to perform
duties like moving trucks around the home yard by establishing a single set of thresholds
for all ELDs in an On Duty, not Driving status without triggering the device by reaching the
thresholds.

At Each instance when an ELD malfunction or data diagnostic event is detected or cleared

events are inconsistencies found while monitoring the app/ELD against FMCSA
compliance requirements. These instances are indicated in the application header and in
the Android notification toolbar with the letters M and D, respectively.

Note: ELD Data Diagnostic status affects only the authenticated user, therefore, the ELD only indicate the
active data diagnostics event status applicable to the active driver. Data Diagnostic Event dialog will no
longer pop up whenever it occurs hence, the Data Diagnostic D icon will be in an accent color (which
based on the apps theme) when data diagnostic events occurred will only turn back to white once the
