| Data Transfer Methods | EZ-ELD supports Option 1 described on the FMCSA regulation - Telematic type. The device can transfer data by either wireless web services or email, There is also a standard graphical HOS display for roadside inspections. The EZ-ELD has a simple single-step data transfer process so the user can quickly send driver records to authorized officials during inspections. In the Mobile Application, the user can tap the “inspection icon” in the top right corner of the screen, or from the left side menu tap “DOT Inspection”. After that, the data transfer options -ON SCREEN, EMAIL or WEBSERVICE- are presented and can be selected by tapping the corresponding button, starting the data transfer or ON SCREEN inspection. Note that once the SEND button is tapped on the App, a command is sent to the EZ-ELD Back Office Software to then automatically send the required data to the FMCSA. If an authorized safety official provides a key phrase or code during an inspection, this can be included as a comment in the ELD record. In addition the data transfer process can also be performed through the Back Office web based software located at https://www.ez-eldsoftware.com. For that, a support account is needed. After the login the support user can select “transfer data” from the left side menu to start the data transfer process. After the selection, the support user is presented with options to select the transfer method - email or web service -, the desired period and the selected driver profiles. |

| Certifying Statement | The EZ-ELD system was built by Stoneridge in accordance and to meet the functional requirements included in the technical specifications in the Appendix to subpart B of part 395, title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, under the conditions in which the ELD would be used. The EZ-ELD product was tested strictly following all the procedures described in the file: ELD_Test_Plan_and_Procedures_All_Chapters_10_17_2016_0.pdf (Electronic Logging Device ELD Test Plan and Procedures). The tests were performed by our internal validation team comprised of software and hardware design engineers. All the tests results, procedures and history are stored electronically and available for analysis, including all the bugs, defects and corrections detected and implemented during the development. The device was also tested to comply with automotive and radio emission standards being approved and certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC ID: 2AKA8-ELD100A0) and Industry Canada (IC: 22098-ELD100A0). |
