Garmin eLog

The Garmin eLog adapter enables a motor carrier to comply

with FMCSA Electronic Logging Device (ELD) regulations.

When the dēzl 780 device is paired with the Garmin eLog

adapter, the dēzl 780 device and the Garmin eLog adapter

together provide a complete ELD solution without the need for

an additional smartphone or mobile device. You can use your

dēzl device to record and view hours of service information,

change your duty status, create inspection reports, and more.

The Garmin eLog adapter is not available in all areas. For more

information, or to purchase a Garmin eLog adapter, go to

garmin.com/elog

.

Setting Up Your Garmin eLog Adapter

NOTE:

If you need to transfer Garmin eLog data from another

device to your dēzl device , you must import the data during the

setup process. You should create a data backup from your

previous device before you start setting up the Garmin eLog

adapter on your dēzl device (

Transferring Garmin eLog Data

from Another Device

, page 17

).

You must set up and pair your Garmin eLog adapter with the

Garmin eLog app in order to be in compliance with

FMCSA ELD regulations. For more information about installing

the Garmin eLog adapter in your vehicle, see the

Garmin eLog

Garmin eLog app.

2

Follow the instructions in the app to set up and configure the

Garmin eLog system, administrator account, and driver

profiles.

NOTICE

The administrator account is critical for some app functions.

Choose an administrator password you can remember, and

do not lose the password. The administrator password

cannot be recovered without clearing all app data, which

causes all recorded Garmin eLog data to be deleted.

NOTE:

Until you complete the setup process, the Garmin

eLog device has limited functionality and is not compliant with

FMCSA ELD regulations.

Transferring Garmin eLog Data from Another

another device, you can transfer the Garmin eLog app data from

the previous device to your dēzl device. You must complete this

transfer during the initial setup.

data backup (

Backing Up Data

, page 17

adapter in the vehicle diagnostic port and complete the

pairing process.

3
