In order to prevent data loss, please
handle your tachograph carefully and
also observe the instructions of the au-
thorities issuing the tachograph cards.
► Driver card
You use your driver card to log yourself
into the digital tachograph as a driver.
The DTCO 4.1 starts displaying and stor-
ing all activities of this driver.
You can print or download (with a driver
card inserted) the data.
Thus, the driver card is used for normal
driving operation (as single driver or in
crew operation).
► Company card
You use the company card to log your-
self into the DTCO 4.1 as the vehicle
holder or owner. This enables you to ac-
cess company data.
The company card is used to display,
print and download the data saved in the
mass memory as well as the data of a
driver card - which is inserted into the
other card drawer.
IMPORTANT
In addition, the company card entitles
you – for the first time and if not yet car-
ried out by a workshop – to enter the
authorised member state and the
vehicle registration number. If in doubt,
please contact an authorised specialist
workshop.
