Digicard

Hi Guys, and Gals, starting a new job on Sunday first day out with an analogue then on Digi for the rest, I have one, but have never used it, any advice or a site that explains the use and pitfalls. Are they hard to get the hang of?

hi mate
i find them a lot easier to use than the charts now,easier to keep an eye on your driving time for breaks etc.just push it into the machine the right way,arrow towards to tacho & chip up,enter your shift start time once it’s done it’s thing,if you’ve been doing other work or just waiting around to start & been on poa,once that’s in then it’s pretty much away you go.no need to do print outs on a night as all the info is stored on the card.

The digi is easier than the ■■■■. Just put it in the correct slot, the right way up and round then off you go (after completing your checks etc.) How much driving it thinks you’ve done - press any button quickly whilst driving (on Siemens) and don’t forget to download regularly.

Thanks jrl Driver, good to hear that.

You’ll find plenty of information on the use of digital tachographs in this thread.
