When the app is able to obtain a valid GPS fix, the Location field will be automatically populated with the current location information of the user. If there is no GPS fix, the
Location field will remain blank, in this instance; you must manually input the relevant details. Location is a required field and must contain at least 5 characters upon adding or editing an event.
Location records as street address if driver is in (1) Canadian cycle; or (2) vehicle used is in AOBRD mode and 'Display Street Address for AOBRD Mode' option are both enabled in Account Settings > App Controls.
For driver whose (3) vehicle used is in ELD mode, location records the closest city with less than 5,000 population in all driver statuses event except for Personal Use event.
Personal Use event records the closest city with more than 5,000 population.
Once all relevant details have been entered and the correct duty status selected, tap the
OK button to save the new duty status event. You can also select the Cancel button to cancel adding the selected duty status.
Changing the status to On Duty or Driving also enables the options for ‘ Personal Use ’ and
‘Off Road’. Personal Use is mentioned in the FMCSA’s Supplemental Proposal, which was published on March 28, 2014, that mandates ELDs for most drivers of CMVs that currently log. The proposal says that ELDs may be set up to allow drivers to put themselves in a special driving cat egory called “personal use.” When a driver selects this option, the ELD will record the time as off duty until the driver de-selects the option. Off Road , on the other hand, means that the vehicle is running on rough terrain. Lastly, Yard Moves , has been established under a mandate which allows driver or personnel to perform duties like moving trucks around the home yard by establishing a single set of thresholds for all
ELDs in an On Duty, not Driving status without triggering the device by reaching the thresholds.

An ELD must monitor data it receives from the engine ECM or alternative sources as allowed in sections 4.3.1.1-4.3.1.4 of this appendix, its onboard sensors, and data record history to identify instances when it may not have complied with the power requirements specified in section
4.3.1.1, in which case, the ELD

Diagnostic must record a power data diagnostics event for the corresponding driver(s), or under the unidentified driver profile if no drivers were authenticated at the time of detection.
An ELD required to establish a link to the engine ECM as described in section 4.2 must monitor its connectivity to the engine ECM and its ability to retrieve the vehicle parameters described under section 4.3.1 of this appendix and must record an engine-synchronization data diagnostics event when it no longer can acquire updated values for the ELD parameters required for records within 5 seconds of the need.
If a new ELD event must be recorded at an instance when the
ELD had failed to acquire a valid position measurement within the most recent elapsed 5 miles of driving, but the ELD has not yet set a positioning compliance malfunction, the ELD must record the char acter “X” in both the latitude and longitude fields, unless location is 88 entered manually by the driver, in which case it must log the character “M” instead. Under the circumstances listed in this paragraph, if the ELD event is due to a change in duty status for the driver, the ELD must prompt the driver to enter location

(b) If the monitoring mechanism fails to confirm proper in-service operation of the data transfer mechanism(s), an ELD must record a data transfer data diagnostic event and enter an unconfirmed data transfer mode.
(b) If more than 30 minutes of driving in a 24-hour period show unidentified driver on the ELD, the
ELD must detect and record an unidentified driving records data diagnostic event and the data diagnostic indicator must be turned on for all drivers logged in to that ELD for the current 24-hour period and the following 7 days.
(c) An unidentified driving records data diagnostic event can be cleared by the ELD when driving time logged under the unidentified driver profile for the current 24hour period and the previous 7 consecutive days drops to 15 minutes or less.

GPS Insight implement additional, technologyspecific malfunction and data diagnostic detection schemes and may use the ELD’s malfunction status indicator and data diagnostic status indicator
(described in sections 4.6.2.1 and
4.6.3.1) to communicate the ELD’s malfunction or non-compliant state to the operator(s) of the ELD.
Actions for Malfunction & Data Diagnostic Events
Carrier responsibilities regarding malfunctions:
▪ Provide drivers with an instruction sheet describing the various ELD malfunction events and recordkeeping procedures (395.22)
▪ Provide drivers with a supply of 8 days’ worth of blank paper driver records
(395.22)
▪ Repair, replacement, or service o Motor carrier must correct the malfunction of the ELD within 8 days of discovery of the condition or a driver's notification to the motor carrier, whichever occurs first (395.34)
Record keeping responsibilities by the driver:
▪ Malfunction events o Note the ELD malfunction and provide carrier with written notice within
24hrs (395.34) o Reconstruct driving events for the current 24hr period and previous 7 consecutive days using paper logs (unless they can be retrieved from the
ELD) (395.34) o Continue to manually prepare driving logs until ELD is serviced and brought back into compliance (395.34)
Page 81
866-477-4321 | http://www.gpsinsight.com/
GPS Insight o During inspections which take place when a malfunction has occurred: provide safety official with manually kept driver logs (395.34)
▪ Data diagnostic events o Driver must follow the motor carriers and ELD provider's recommendations in resolving the data inconsistency (395.34)
Clearing of malfunction and data diagnostic events:
▪ ELD needs to capture when a malfunction or data diagnostic event has been cleared by the driver (4.5.1.7)
▪ Unidentified driving records data diagnostic o Events that drop to 15 minutes or less during the current 24hr period and previous 7 days can be cleared automatically and there is no requirement to record the automatic clear (4.6.1.6)
