Changing Duty Status

For the most accurate records, you must change your duty
status in the Garmin eLog app every time you change your
driving status, such as when you start driving, take a break,
switch drivers, or change the type of driving you are doing. The
Garmin eLog adapter automatically switches to driving status
when the vehicle's diagnostic port reports a speed greater than
or equal to five miles per hour. The vehicle is stopped when the
diagnostic port reports a speed of zero miles per hour.
NOTE: The vehicle must be stopped to change duty status. You
cannot manually change duty status while you are driving.
