When a smart-card is being read by the device, the card symbol of the card-slot in question blinks.
Note
The EFAS tachograph will ignore invalid tachograph smart-cards. However, it is possible to display, print and
download the data stored on cards that have expired. An invalid or expired tachograph smart-card will be
indicated by the symbol
4.9.1
Card combinations and their effect on the operating mode
The following table shows the mode of operation of the EFAS tachograph depending on the tachograph smart-cards inserted.
The combinations that result in a "card conflict" are displayed with a dark gray background. In these cases, it is not clear what the
user's desired mode of operation is. For this reason, the tachograph assumes what the mode of operation should be according
to the following table.

eject the smartcard while the vehicle is moving, EFAS will display the following message:
