Getting Started
Connecting the Hardware
Prior to using the ELD SQUAD, it's essential to install the
hardware in your vehicle. Locate the diagnostic port in one
of these four potential locations.
Connect the device to the vehicle's diagnostic port. If the
installation is done correctly, the green LED indicator will
begin blinking.
Ensure that you place your device at a distance from
electrical components to avoid potential interference.
