On a digital tachograph all data is recorded in UTC time so nothing needs to be changed for that but if you want to change the local time that’s displayed on the VU screen here’s how.
how do i change the time on the one my Actros? It’s normally in for a ‘service’ this time of year so mickanicks do it. Its a ‘digital’ type display but is analogue…ta

Don’t you have to do it with the dash display and without a card in? I seem to remember that when you open the drawer and then close it,the new time is then displayed.
Try reading the driver’s handbook,that’s what I did.And mine’s in Dutch!
I was about to post a question asking how to change the local time on my new friend. Thanks very much to who ever provided the videos & thank you Tachograph for posting the info. Much appreciated.

i would if it was anywhere in the cab…might still be at Port Of Tynes,it came to us nearly 4 years ago from an O/D who subbed (i think) and was ‘purchased from the O/D’ a bit rapid when we needed another unit quick smart…can’t say anymore,nudge nudge

If it’s the type bellow or similar:
It’s a long time since I’ve done this but as far as I can remember before inserting a chart you press the M button then press the + or - buttons to adjust the time then press the M button again.
It’s not too clear but you can just see the M (memory) and +/- buttons on the right side of the tachograph.

Most of those type do it them self as long as there is no card in either the driver 1 or driver 2 positions. It’s one of the reasons why you shouldn’t have a card in the driver 2 slot when on single manned operation.
Remove all charts, close drawer, turn on ignition, unit whirrs a bit and clock is set to new time. Sorted.

yep,it’s one of those…i’ll see what happens with both sets of instructions,thanks Coffeeholic and to Tachograph for the post…how many ‘noobies’ were starting to get a bit worried!! My take on digi’s…their all cack
Well being new to these digital tachos I had a look at mine this morning and it asked me if the new time it was displaying was correct, I pressed yes and now it’s done. Doesn’t seem to hard to me!
