Changing Duty Status
For the most accurate records, you must change your duty status in the Garmin eLog app every time you
change your driving status, such as when you start driving, take a break, switch drivers, or change the type of
driving you are doing. The Garmin eLog adapter automatically switches to driving status when the vehicle's
diagnostic port reports a speed greater than or equal to five miles per hour. The vehicle is stopped when the
diagnostic port reports a speed of zero miles per hour.
NOTE: The vehicle must be stopped to change duty status. You cannot manually change duty status while you
are driving.
