Caution – Danger of explosion!
Please note that when using the DLKPro in vehicles
used for the transport of hazardous goods and/or in
areas which may be endangered by explosions, the
following safety regulation must be adhered to:
During loading and unloading of hazardous goods, the
cover of the download interface must be closed. This
means that no connection to the digital tachograph may
exist and data downloading must
not
take place.
Caution
: To prevent damaging the DLKPro, bear the
following in mind:
• Do not use sharp-edged or pointed objects, e. g.
ballpoint pens on the touch screen.
• Only insert authorised cards into the card slot. Cards
with embossed printing and metallic cards may
damage the card slot of the integrated chip card
reader.
Note
: The DLKPro is available in four versions:
• DLKPro Download Key,
• DLKPro TIS-Compact,
• DLKPro Inspection Key and
• DLKPro TIS-Compact (EE).
Note
: The data will be checked for compliance with
Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006, the European
Commission Recommendation of 23rd January on best
practice guidelines for checking digital tachographs
(2009/60/EC) and Directive 2009/5/EC of 30th January
2009; see page 44.

Please observe the regulations in force in your country
for archiving mass memory and driver card files.
Caution
: The DLKPro must never be pulled out of the

during data transfer. The loaded data and the
configuration files could be corrupted.
Always wait until the data transfer process has finished.
Note
: Do not use the DLKPro’s USB interface while
data is being downloaded from the digital tachograph
or during the card download process. Otherwise the
data download process will be aborted.
Note
: Ensure that the DLKPro is not inserted while the
vehicle is being driven. Otherwise the view of the digital
tachograph display could be restricted.
The DLKPro and the download interface of the digital
tachograph could also be damaged in a collision, or if
accidentally struck.
