Depending on the data range the download can take up to 1 hour time.

When the red LED on the foreside of the device lights up for about 4 seconds and within this period three short acoustic signals can be heard and then the LED goes out for about 2 seconds (this sequence repeats), please check the chapter "Error codes" for error interpretation.

Repeat the download when a download fault is signaled. When the repeated download is faulty as well, try to download data from another tachograph.

If the download from another tachograph is OK, the first tachograph may be disturbed (visit a tachograph service station).

When the second download is disturbed contact the Service of the TachoReader Combo Plus manufacturer.

After pressing the reject button you are asked if the company lock has to be activated.

It is useful to ALWAYS set the company lock, to avoid downloading of data by third parties (external persons could download data and lock the tachograph for their own company card).
