IMPORTANT Driver Notes
The following information is provided as best practices for the driver.
- It is important to update the duty status throughout the day to accurately reflect your activities and avoid unnecessary edits. When updating your duty status, an annotation can be added at any time.
- While driving: DO NOT undock the tablet, turn off the tablet, or put the tablet to sleep because this will lead to unidentified driving events.
- When leaving a vehicle: Turning off the tablet or logging out of the tablet is NOT the same as putting yourself in OFF DUTY status. All drivers must put themselves in OFF DUTY status at the end of their shifts, BEFORE turning off the device or logging out.
- If the brightness of the screen bothers you: Adjust the brightness level on the tablet. From the All Apps menu, select Settings > Display > Brightness. Use the slider to set the desired brightness level or leave it on Automatic.
- If you want the screen turned off while in motion: From the All Apps menu, select Settings > Zonar Settings. Tap the Turn Off Display When in Motion checkbox.
