                    Beware


                    of liars and bullies



                                                            In fact, the G5 Taximeter fully complies with
                                                            all CPVV requirements including the new
                                                            requirement effective from 1st May 2020 that
                                                            all taximeters automatically record all charges
                                                            (including tolls) payable by passengers.

                                                            Instead of being forced to remove your G4
                                                            or G5 taximeter by underhanded bullies
                                                            who falsely claim that this is a requirement,
                                                            Schmidt Electronic Labs are able to wire your
                                                            Cabcharge meter to connect to the dispatch
                                                            system and still enable you to use your G4 or
                    Many taxi operators in Melbourne have been told   G5 Taximeter for all non-dispatched jobs. This
                    over the past month that they must remove their   is the very best way to protect your personal
                    Schmidt G4 & G5 Taximeters so that their Booking   information and the privacy of your income
                    Service Provider (BSP) satisfies the CPVV record   data. After all, it's your business and your
                    keeping requirements to maintain fare records for   income data, and nobody else’s business -
                    all dispatched jobs.                    certainly NOT the business of your BSP.
                    This is a complete and blatant lie.     Help to protect your interests by reporting to
                                                            Schmidt Electronic Labs the name of anyone
                    There is absolutely nothing in the Regulations   who tells you that you must remove your G4
                    which requires taxi operators to remove their G4   or G5 Taximeter. This will then be immediately
                    and G5 Taximeters to satisfy CPVV record keeping   reported to the Australian Competition and
                    requirements.

                    Spreading such lies is misleading and deceptive
                    conduct and therefore illegal under Australian        by Schmidt Electronics Laboratories
