Connecting to Truck
Depending on the ELD device that you have in your truck, you need to ensure that you have
plugged it in correctly as described in the User Hardware Manual in order to use your
Phantom ELD Application. 


Once the ELD Device is connected correctly, open the app, click the "Truck" icon on the
Home Screen, and turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone or tablet. App will scan nearby
trucks for ELD devices and display a list of them. Select your truck and the ELD from the list
by the serial number and set up a connection with just a click using the serial number from
the list. 


It is also possible to determine whether a truck is connected and in ELD mode based on the
green truck icon at the top of the app's screen. If you see the red truck icon, this means that
the connection has been lost, and it needs to be re-established as soon as possible.
