[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 359166, member: 12570"] Guys, both of those "tricks" were in the training manual that you both should have received when your center switched to DIAD 4. UK, you need to use the backlight feature sparingly as it drains the battery. Sumter, up here we have 18 digits in our barcodes, but you don't necessarily have to use the last 4 digits of the barcode to use Find BC. You can use any four sequential digits but it is much, much easier to use the last 4 as they are in large print on the PAL label. You do have to be active in the stop and you have to hit "Scan" , then Find BC, enter last 4, accept the 1Z that is given and continue with the stop. You may receive more than one 1Z so you do have to check to make sure you select the correct one. I use Find BC a lot, especially at bulk stops (WalMart), and it is a tremendous timesaver. The one "trick" that has been discussed on this forum before has been the one that turns the radio off, thereby disabling the GPS. I have also read suggestions to put the DIAD in the microwave or wrapping it in aluminum foil, thereby disabling the GPS. Do yourselves a favor--don't mess with any of the settings on the DIAD.
