The Triplogik Mileager logger has enough capacity to record a year's worth of driving 4 hours/day
or close to 50 00 miles (70 000 Km).
However, we recommend you do not leave it that long; there's potentially a lot of data to lose if it went missing.
A large database will also take longer to sync.
We recommend you sync at least once per month and print your monthly reports.
You can erase the memory inside the Tl1000 after syncing or every 2-3 months if required.
If you never erase it, it can act as a backup of your data on the PC, and it could be re-downloaded.
The drawback is it will take longer every month to sync as there is more data to download month after month.
It will also eventually get full and it will stop working
To check how much memory is free
Plug the instrument to the PC
Check in the bottom right corner
To Sync
- Open the Manager
- Plug the instrument to the PC
- Wait until the instrument is detected on the bottom right corder
- Click on the Sync button
GOOD PRACTICE
- Always download your logger every month
If you lose it, have it stolen, or damage it, you are in trouble.
This is just like any other electronics device, it must be regularly backup
Don't blame us if you sync once or twice a year , WE DO NOT OFFER DATA RESTORATION
It only take a few minutes... setup a reminder in your phone...
2. Print out your reports on Paper
If you don't keep good backups of your computer, and make many copies of your trip database you can be playing with fire!
Don't take any chance, this information is fiscal in nature, it is normal to have printed records, like invoices.
If you print to PDF documents, ensure they are always in a safe place
3. Backup your database file every time you do a sync
Today with the popularity of USB memory key, and cloud storage, its quite easy to automatically copy files for backup.
We strongly, recommend backing up your files with an automated system
Many services are totally free and can copy the files immediately as they change on your hard disk
Services like DropBox, and Google Drive among others can help you fail-safe your data.

There is simply no excuse for lost database!!!
4. Clean the USB connection in your car and on the device
A few times per year, you should have a closer look at the condition of the USB connections
Those are like any other devices, and it is sitting in your car all the time.
You can use rubbing alcohol or special contact cleaners for this.
Some even have protection factor that lubricated the contacts
A well maintained device can last very long , our employee units were manufactured in 2010, and they all still work very well.
