Before you install your BIT ELD adapter for the first time:
•
Install the Blue Ink Tech app on the smartphone or
tablet
you wish to use for your logs.
•
Have your vehicle's engine running. Communication
to the
diagnostic port may be disabled even with the
ignition
turned on.
Installation and Initial Testing
Plug in the BIT ELD adapter to your vehicle's diagnostic port.
For heavy duty 6-pin or 9-pin adapters, turn the locking ring
clockwise to secure it to the port.
When the ELD adapter receives power it will go through initial
self checks and boot up light sequences.
All BIT ELD models end their boot up sequence with the LED
lighting up red-white-blue. At this point the ELD is ready to
connect to your app through wireless Bluetooth.
Splitter and Adapter Cables
If your port is in the way or hard to reach, or if you need to
connect two devices at one time, Blue Ink Tech offers a variety
of splitter and adapter cables
to use with your BIT ELD
.
You can
find them at our website blueinktech.com/cart or contact your
account manager for more information.
