Default Bluetooth in diad

Does anyone know what the bluetooth function in the diad is for? I saw it for the first time the other day in the communications screen. :confused1

It allows the DIAD to communicate with other devices.

I heard that some places use a ring scanner to talk to the DIAD.

Other places use Bluetooth to have the DIAD communicate with a cell phone.

I guess the options are limitless with all the bluetooth devices available.

Bluetooh isn't nothing. Its just a form of wireless technology. Just be where you are paid to be, Telemax is a different story. I wouldn't drive miles off area if your Center Management tells you not to.

One aspect of bluetooth is that if you have a large delivery stop, like a customer who gets 1000-1500 returns pkgs per day. The preload can scan using a ring scanner straight into a diad board.

If you don't have radio coverage the DIAD can be linked to a cell phone and the DIAD can transmit the tracking information using the cell phone since we don't use DVA's anymore.

As others have said, you can link them to ring scanners to scan bulk deliveries too.

One of these days you'll wear a Bluetooth ear piece/DIAD setup to be in direct voice communication with your center manager all day. He'll be on the other end looking at your stops/hour in real time and telling you to go faster faster faster (safely of course)!!!

I have no real information on that, but technologically it's possible.

With the latest software upgrade the DIAD can use short-range Bluetooth wireless communications (up to about 30 feet) to communicate with either a Bluetooth enabled Ring Scanner or a specific model data Bluetooth cell phone. The ring scanner allows bulk scanning entry in the preload into the DIAD. The cell phone allows the DIAD to communicate to the GPRS network on a frequency that is not covered with the DIAD's internal radio.
