Diad V on monday! what to expect

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Back to the OP....as Tooner said, this will not be unlike the transition to any of the previous DIADs.

I heard Cheryl relaxed her standards when selecting moderators--I guess it's true.

Apparently true since I became a Mod after Ovah did.
I even hold the Official title as "The Worst Mod Ever!" and rather proudly.
"He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named", where art though.

Somebody said that you don't have to use the shift key to go from letters to numbers anymore. That will be a big help for me.

Unlike my daughters who can text novels on their phones in seconds, it takes me a while to type a message on the DIAD 4.

Many times after typing a message to the center I will look at the screen to see a bunch of numbers instead of the message I thought I was typing because I hadn't shifted to letters.

What's that below the 7? Does it have it's own hazard lights?

I am a little afraid to ask what the lightning bolt key at the top left does also.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I wonder if the lightning bolt key is how you get EDD in the morning.

What about the yellow button below the right arrow?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

It was a serious question.

permits alternate entry of function keys by utilizing the keypad instead of touchscreen

I was kinda going for the irony of having a lightening bolt to get EDD.

​Ok...............

lol but actually it provides access to special functions( calibrate screen, flashlight, keypad light, consignee view, shift address right and point of return by touch screen )

I bet it for when you are so far behind you will never die, and it turns you into FLASH/sheldon.
