Administrator Functions
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.
You must use the administrator account to perform some Garmin eLog app functions, including adding driver
profiles, editing driver profiles, and resetting driver passwords. The administrator account and password are
created during the initial Garmin eLog app setup. If the app is administered by a company, drivers may not have
access to the administrator functions.
Adding Driver Profiles
You must log in as an administrator to add driver profiles.
1 From the Garmin eLog app, select Add Driver.
2 Enter the administrator password.
3 Enter the driver and motor carrier information.
4 If the driver has an exempt status, select Exempt Driver.
5 If the driver is allowed to use the vehicle for personal conveyance, select Allow Personal Conveyance.
6 If the driver is allowed to make yard moves, select Allow Yard Moves.
7 Select Save.
The first time the driver logs into the new profile, the app prompts the driver to enter their driver license number
and create a password.
Editing a Driver Profile
An administrator can edit driver profiles to change driver privileges, reset profile passwords, or deactivate
profiles.
NOTE: The administrator can edit basic driver information in the driver profile, but the Garmin eLog app does
not support editing duty status records from the administrator account. To correct a duty status record, the
driver must log in to the driver profile and edit the record (Editing a Duty Status Record, page 43).
1 Log in to an administrator account.
2 Select a driver profile.
3 Select > Edit Profile.
4 Select an option:
• To edit driver information, select a field to update it.
• To reset the profile password, select Reset Password.
• To deactivate the profile, select Deactivate Profile.
Clearing Garmin eLog App Data
NOTICE
Clearing the Garmin eLog app data will cause all retained ELD data to be deleted from your dēzl device. It is the
responsibility of the driver and/or motor carrier to ensure ELD records are retained as required by applicable
regulations.
You can clear the Garmin eLog app data to restore the app to the original factory state. This requires you to set
up your Garmin eLog adaptor, administrator account, and all driver profiles again. Clearing the app data is also
the only way to reset a lost or forgotten administrator password.
1 Log in to a driver or administrator account, and back up all data (Backing Up Data, page 40).
2 Wait for the backup to complete.
3 From the home screen, select Settings > Device > Apps > eLog > Storage.

1 Clean the outer casing of the device (not the touchscreen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent
solution.
2 Wipe the device dry.
Cleaning the Touchscreen
1 Use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.
2 If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with water.
3 If using a dampened cloth, turn off the device and disconnect the device from power.
4 Gently wipe the screen with the cloth.
Avoiding Theft
• Remove the device and mount from sight when not in use.
• Remove the residue left on the windshield by the suction cup.
• Do not keep your unit in the glove compartment.
• Register your device using the Garmin Express software (garmin.com/express).
Resetting the Device

2 Turn the device mount to the right or left.
3 Apply pressure until the socket on the mount releases the ball on the suction cup.
60 Device Maintenance
Removing the Suction Cup from the Windshield
1 Flip the lever on the suction cup toward you.
2 Pull the tab on the suction cup toward you.
Troubleshooting
The suction cup will not stay on my windshield
1 Clean the suction cup and windshield with rubbing alcohol.
2 Dry with a clean, dry cloth.
3 Mount the suction cup (Mounting and Powering the Device in Your Vehicle, page 3).
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 56).
