‘(61)

Upon driver (or workshop) card insertion, and only at this time, the recording equipment shall allow manual entries of activities. Manual entries of activities shall be performed using local time and date values of the time zone (UTC offset) currently set for the vehicle unit.

At driver or workshop card insertion the cardholder shall be reminded of:

At the first insertion of a given driver card or workshop card currently unknown to the vehicle unit, the cardholder shall be invited to express his consent for tachograph related personal data output through the ITS interface. For checking if a card has already been inserted, the recording equipment shall use the tachograph card data stored in its data memory, as set out in requirement 133.

At any moment, the driver (resp. workshop) consent can be enabled or disabled through commands in the menu, provided the driver (resp. workshop) card is inserted.

It shall be possible to input activities with the following restrictions:

It shall be possible to make manual entries, if required, at the first insertion of a previously unused driver (or workshop) card.

The procedure for manual entries of activities shall include as many consecutive steps as necessary to set a type, a start time and an end time for each activity. For any part of the time period between last card withdrawal and current card insertion, the cardholder shall have the option not to declare any activity.

During the manual entries associated with card insertion and if applicable, the card holder shall have the opportunity to input:

For the place where the current daily work period begins entered at the current card insertion, the recording equipment shall display the current place of the vehicle on the basis of the GNSS information, and of stored digital map(s) in accordance with point 3.12.19, and shall request the driver to confirm or to manually rectify the place.

If the card holder does not enter any place where the work period begins or ended, during the manual entries associated with card insertion, this shall be considered as a declaration that his work period has not changed since the last card withdrawal. The next entry of a place where a previous daily work period ends shall then overwrite the temporary entry made at the last card withdrawal.

If a place is entered, it shall be recorded in the relevant tachograph card.

Manual entries shall be interrupted if:

Additional interruptions are allowed, e.g. a timeout after a certain period of user inactivity. If manual entries are interrupted, the recording equipment shall validate any complete place and activity entries (having either unambiguous place and time, or activity type, begin time and end time) already made.

If a second driver or workshop card is inserted while manual entries of activities are in progress for a previously inserted card, the manual entries for this previous card shall be allowed to be completed before manual entries start for the second card.

The cardholder shall have the option to insert manual entries according to the following minimum procedure:

The procedure shall end when the end time of a manually entered activity equals the card insertion time.

The recording equipment shall allow drivers and workshops to alternately upload manual entries that need to be entered during the procedure through the ITS interface specified in Appendix 13 and, optionally, through other interfaces.

The recording equipment shall allow the card holder to modify any activity manually entered, until validation by selection of a specific command. Thereafter, any such modification shall be forbidden.’;

An opened ‘OUT OF SCOPE’ condition must be automatically closed, by the recording equipment, if a driver card is inserted or withdrawn.

An opened ‘OUT OF SCOPE’ condition shall inhibit the following events and warnings:

The driver shall enter the FERRY / TRAIN CROSSING begin flag immediately after selecting BREAK/REST on the ferry or train.

An opened FERRY / TRAIN CROSSING must be ended by the recording equipment when any of the following options occurs:
