and reconstruct your record of duty status for the current 24-hour period on a paper log. If the malfunction
prevents you from accessing your logs on the device, you must reconstruct your previous 7 consecutive days of
logs on paper as well.
A compliance malfunction cannot be dismissed, it must be corrected before you continue using the device as an
ELD. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for common causes and resolutions. If you are not able to immediately
resolve the malfunction, you must continue keeping paper logs until the device is once again compliant.
