Connecting The App To The Eld Adapter - BLUE INK TECH BIT ELD User Manual

Connecting the App to the ELD Adapter

Once the ELD adapter has completed its installation sequence and the LED light is blue, you can log
into the BIT ELD app to connect to the ELD adapter. It is best to turn off all other bluetooth devices
during this first connection.
The BIT ELD app will automatically search for powered BIT ELD adapters within its wireless range and
prompt you to connect to a device. If multiple ELDs are found within range, the app will let you
choose the device to which you want to connect.
BIT ELDs in range will be listed by the vehicle in which they are installed. If the vehicle has already
been added to your carrier's fleet it will be listed by a descriptive name. Vehicles new to your carrier's
fleet will be listed by VIN number. If you connect to a new vehicle, the app will prompt you to assign a
descriptive name.
To check that you are connected to the correct ELD and vehicle, you can find the VIN number of the
vehicle under "ELD Adapter Settings". If you accidentally connect to the wrong BIT ELD, you can scan
again for ELDs in range to reconnect to the correct ELD
The first time the app connects to the ELD adapter it can take several minutes because the app and
ELD are exchanging encryption keys for their communication. When you re-connect to the ELD, the
connection will take much less time because the encryption keys will be reused. Set the ELD as your
Preferred Device to further reduce connection time
