I always liked a new DIAD. Change is good!
I noticed a pile of crates full of new DIAD racks when I punched out last night, so I guess we will get them soon too. I asked my supervisor the day before when they were coming, and he said he didn't have a clue. I hope they are easy to learn, they don't train us like they used to.
I haven't heard one word about new diads.
Of course you should be worried... From what I've heard so far it has many new features. The most concerning one is every time the driver has to use the bathroom you are required to give a urine sample immediately and it will automatically perform a urinalysis. Other features include a breathalyzer, 7 megapixel camera that you must photograph all your driver release locations, turn by turn navigation, iPod dock, alarm clock, DVD player, Sirius satellite radio, thermometer , Swiss army knife, flashlight , and Playstation Vita for down time. So all in all,it's not completely bad....but be worried anyway.
should i worry about using the new diad V?[/QUOTe The biggest difference is u dont have to shift at all. Id say the only things i dont like about the new diads are the numbers and letter are so small that u will never be able to hit the keys without looking. And at nite, the display is so brite , its like looking into a flashlite. there is no dimmer. The small size makes it a non weapon against dogs. Much lighter, touch screen is cool, it writes better, havnt seen one die in 5 months. There is no camera. we heard the same rumors.
