I assume two threads have been merged because this isn’t the thread with no replies I replied to earlier with my previous post.
I wish the mods would make it clear when two threads are merged.
I always leave my card in until I finish for the week, unless I download it. Now Stobarts are talking about introducing a new style isotrack that once you finish your shift you put your drivers card into it so that they can check working time etc accurately.
Not sure exactly how it will work, but all I can see is lots of damaged cards. card into isotrack at start of shift, then out, and into tacho. Back out at end of shift and then in and out of isotrack again. Dreamt up by muppets.

It is the new style tacho…It automatically comes up with being on rest from the time I finished to the time I put my card in…the only thing I can think of is when changing the rest from 0545 to 0550 onto other work I must of accidentally changed the whole lot.
I’ll do a couple of print outs and hand one in when card is downloaded.
Thanks for all your help!!!
Are you sure about that ?
I’ve never used one of the new type digital tachographs so have no personal experience of them but from what I’ve read you have to input the daily rest period yourself 
Here’s the instruction manual for the latest Siemens digital tachograph (R 1.4)
Here’s the instruction manual for the latest Stoneridge Exakt E500
When you’re doing a manual entry with a new tacho and you’re telling it what you done from when you took you’re card out to when you put it in you have to be carefull what the tacho defaults to, ours used to default to other work so we had to make a concious effort to change it to rest when telling it what we did between shifts.
But now they have been changed to default to rest so if you do the manual entry a bit quick without thinking it will show up as overnight break so no big deal really, not sure how good I explained that bit.

With the new siemens, if you select no to manual entries will it just clock you as break from when it last came out?
It’ll show up ?. meaning it doesn’t know.

Yep…I have a VDO tacho, the latest one as truck is only a few months old. What I mean by it automatically comes up is the mode it records by default for when the card is pulled to putting it back in. On this tacho the default mode is rest unless you change it, which is what I must of done by accident…
You’re best to leave it in as much as possible then there will be no manual entries that can get messed up
