Wrong.

Not necessary to remove the battery in order to install a new strap.
Sure, tell me that now....

Is there a logical reason to restart the DIAD this way instead of simply using the reset button?On diad 5 if you remove the battery cover (doing nothing else inside) and then replace it, the diad will do an unexpected restart.

I wish they would do away with the note system altogether. Only reason I would think they're necessary are for ate codes but half of them are outdated anyway.
Also, I would love if we could tell whether a stop is a NO DR stop from the EDD screen or at least before I hide the package back behind a planter or over a gate and make it half way back to the PC.
Left arrow to lock in a segment of the days deliveries.- How do you hold/bookmark a section of your EDD list?
I'm doing split routes now as a cover driver and often times the splits aren't loaded in a proper order. I often cover loops in 4-6 different towns a day and the splits are added in a scrappy manner. So I have to figure out the most efficient order and often have to deliver loops toward the bottom of the list early. So I'd love to hold my spot instead of scrolling all day.
- Also, how do you add notes to particular stops?
As a cover driver who constantly delivers to unfamiliar stops everyday, I come across weird stops that should have notes/special instructions for us cover drivers. Lot's of stops are tough to find or figure out because of a particular obscurity or irregular addressing issue. I wouldn't mind adding notes to help the next poor cover guy.
The first part of your post made me almost spit my beer out the first time I read it.I tried to pull the battery out to install a new strap----spent the next 10 minutes trying to reboot the DIAD.
Question regarding to the original post. Pressing left arrow to bookmark a new spot, the arrow is pointing down.
Is there a way for the bookmark(arrow) to point up? Sometime I do the route backward from the screen.
Instead of pressing left, up and left again.
(up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start) hehe.
Up or down arrow doesn’t indicate which direction it goes. It indicates whether it is a bookmark, or whether you highlighted that stop using mapnav. You can’t go up automatically. Also if you do mapnav on a different stop from the “carrot,” mapnav overrides it and that is the stop it will navigate to when you put it in the cradle. To fix it you have to hit mapnav on the bookmarked stop.Question regarding to the original post. Pressing left arrow to bookmark a new spot, the arrow is pointing down.

Stop complete on the way up to the house. If you need to re-sheet it for something just resheet it(note on door says gone for a week hold packages or something).What do you do at that point? Do you go back, fill out an info notice and retrieve the pkg, or do you over ride the No DR and complete the stop?
