Installation and
Connection

Getting Started
Connecting the Hardware
Prior to using the BEACON ELD, its essential to install the hardware in your
vehicle. Locate the diagnostic port in one of these four potential locations.
Connect the device to the vehicles 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.

Downloading the App
Next, download the BEACON ELD App.
For Android devices, get the app from the Google Play Store, and for
iPhone or iPad users, download it from the App Store.

Logging In
Now, you should log into the
application. To do so, please enter
your Username and Password and
tap on the Login button.

Changing the Status
You should connect the device to
your vehicle by tapping on the
CONNECT button in the top right
corner.
When it turns orange, your device is
connected to the hardware. After
connecting to the app, the next
step is to change your status to ON
DUTY by selecting the CHANGE
STATUS button.

Pre-Trip Inspection
After youve changed the status,
you should complete the Pre-Trip
Inspection. Do that by tapping
the DVIR button.
If there are any visible defects,
check them on the list. You can
mark them as Minor or Major and
include a photo if necessary. To
review each item on the vehicle,
tap on Add/Remove under Vehicle
Defects. If you identify a defect,
mark it on the list, and enter a
comment or add a photo. If there
is a trailer, apply the same steps
under Trailer Defects.
Once its done, tap Save the
Report to make it available to your
carriers administrator.

Hours of Service
In the HOS tab, you will see
your current status, as well as
the cycle details.
Tap on Change Status to
select some other duty status.
The important thing to know is
that our ELD detects when
your vehicle starts moving at 5
MPH and automatically sets
your status to Driving.
At 0 MPH, BEACON ELD will
mark you as Stationary. If your
vehicle remains Stationary for
ve minutes, you will be asked
if youd like to change your duty
status.
Your status will be changed to
On Duty if you ignore this
question.
