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

Changing the Fuse in the Vehicle Power

Cable

NOTICE

When replacing the fuse, do not lose any of the small pieces

and make sure they are put back in the proper position. The

vehicle power cable does not work unless it is assembled

correctly.

If your device does not charge in your vehicle, you may need to

replace the fuse located at the tip of the vehicle adapter.

Rotate the end piece counter clockwise to unlock it.

TIP: You may need to use a coin to remove the end piece.

Remove the end piece, the silver tip , and the fuse .

Insert a new fast-blow fuse that has the same current, such

as 1 A or 2 A.

Place the silver tip in the end piece.

Push in the end piece and rotate it clockwise to lock it back

into the vehicle power cable .

Resetting the Device

You can reset your device if it stops functioning.

Hold the power key for 12 seconds.

Removing the Device, Mount, and Suction

Cup

Removing the Mount from the Suction Cup

Turn the device mount to the right or left.

Apply pressure until the socket on the mount releases the

ball on the suction cup.

Removing the Suction Cup from the Windshield

Flip the lever on the suction cup toward you.

Pull the tab on the suction cup toward you.

Troubleshooting

The suction cup will not stay on my

windshield

Clean the suction cup and windshield with rubbing alcohol.

Dry with a clean, dry cloth.

Mount the suction cup (Mounting and Powering the dēzl

Device in Your Vehicle, page 1).

The mount does not hold my device in place

while I drive

For the best results, you should keep the vehicle mount clean

and position the device close to the suction cup.

If the device shifts position while you are driving, you should

complete these actions.

• Remove the powered mount from the suction cup arm, and

wipe the ball and socket with a cloth.

Dust and other debris may reduce the friction in the ball and

socket joint and allow the joint to shift while you are driving.

• Rotate the hinged arm toward the suction cup as far as your

windshield angle allows.

Positioning the device closer to the windshield reduces the

effect of jarring and vibration from the road.

My device is not acquiring satellite signals

• Verify the location services feature is enabled (Enabling or

Disabling Location Services, page 24).

• Take your device out of parking garages and away from tall

buildings and trees.

• Remain stationary for several minutes.

The device does not charge in my vehicle

• Check the fuse in the vehicle power cable (Changing the

Fuse in the Vehicle Power Cable, page 26).

• Verify the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the

power outlet.

• Verify the interior temperature of the vehicle is within the

charging temperature range indicated in the specifications.

• Verify the fuse is not broken in the vehicle power outlet.

My battery does not stay charged for very

long

• Decrease the screen brightness (Display Settings, page 24).

• Shorten the display timeout (Display Settings, page 24).

• Decrease the volume (Adjusting Sound and Notification

Volume, page 24).

• Turn off the wi-fi radio when it is not in use (Connecting to a

Wireless Network, page 24).

• Put the device in power saving mode when not in use

(Turning the Device On or Off, page 1).

• Keep your device away from extreme temperatures.

• Do not leave your device in direct sunlight.
