Onboard Computer, indicating TABLET is not docked while
the vehicle is moving.
When re-docking TABLET, data is synchronized between the
Onboard Computer and the TABLET device. During this process,
TABLET should remain in the docking station.

drivers logged in and you are a non-eDriver logs user.

ing with the device. For vehicles using eDriver Logs, the Active
