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.

Installation and Setup
Install ELD Software

Before you start using the ELD, ensure that your mobile device is connected to the internet and Bluetooth
is enabled:
 Installing the ELD Software: Download the ELD app from your device's app store and follow the
on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
 Logging In: Use your provided credentials to access the app. If you encounter login issues, verify your
credentials with your fleet manager or contact customer support.
 Syncing Your Device with ELD Hardware: After logging in, select your vehicle from the list to sync your
mobile device with the ELD hardware.

Hours of Service
Once the ELD is set up, it automatically records driving time. Any movement at 5 mph or faster is logged as
driving. When stationary, the driver can select a different duty status. The system calculates and displays:
 On-Duty Limits
 Available Driving Time
 Required Breaks and Off-Duty Periods
This information is shown in the app's Status section for drivers and in the online portal for fleet managers,
ensuring compliance with HOS regulations.
