Indicators on the ELD screen alert the driver to a data diagnostic event or malfunction on the MiX ELD.
- The diagnostic indication is the driver icon in the top banner on the screen.
- The malfunction indication is the truck icon in the top banner on the screen.
Please note that only when you see the ELD malfunction error or the red truck indicator you need to contact your supervisor immediately to log a ticket with MiX Telematics. *Revert to using paper logs in the event of the ELD device hindering the accurate recording of your driver logs.**
*A data diagnostics or red driver icon does not require a ticket to be logged, nor does it require switching to paper logs.
**You should never run on paper logs without logging a request with MiX Telematics for the ELD malfunction.
