DIAD ran out of battery. Sup wants me to use my personal cell phone.

[Scottyhawk]

I turn the radio off with 30 % left and turn back on when I have completed the stops. No way am I letting the board die while delivering

Work smarter, not harder.

Not working to hard if I'm sitting somewhere for an hour plus waiting for a battery.

Does turning the radio option off prevent OMS from seeing your progress and sending you messages?

no -- but running over it with your duals will

Heaven forbid if we had a DIAD charging port in our truck.

The next Diad will have a charger in the car.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

The next Diad will have a charger in the car.

We shall see

This, put it on a piece of paper and write the disposition next to it. OMS can deliver them in a board when you get back.

When it happened to me, I had to put them all into a board.

Pulling all the pal labels off is the solution here.

I have the OMS do it. She can get away from her coloring book for 10 minutes and do some work.

My phone has 2% battery left, sorry.

Take battery out then put it back in Buys you about 20 minutes extended battery life

Do you guys use a different diad? Ours don't have field removable batteries.

Same DIAD

I will look at it tomorrow. I did it with the earlier model

Pull the Pal labels off of the package

Supervisor asked me to take pictures with my cell phone of every label that I deliver while I wait for them to bring me a battery. I really don't want to use my personal phone for this reason. Can I refuse, or is this a work-as-directed situation?

The way I see it,

1. UPS doesn't pay my phone bill.
2. I could get in trouble for unknowingly DRing a No DR address.

Thoughts?

Just say "what cell phone" or mine doesn't take pictures..
your other option is just using paper

 

[zubenelgenubi]

Same DIAD

If it's the same, how are they changing out batteries?

Like I'm gonna let the OMS do my union work. Fat chance.

 

[Brownslave688]

If it's the same, how are they changing out batteries?

Flip the two silver tabs. Remove cover. Remove battery. Replace battery.

 

[the cooler]

Just stick your stylus in the hole in the board and wait!

I agree with the pal label pulling but... I know on my route I have a lot of those "leave with office" that won't let you DR with out a sig. Not only that but what if it's a intercept or RRT. You don't know until you scan it. So no I'll sit until you bring me a DIAD board.

We've also had a guy that del to a school after his DIAD died. When a teacher called in saying they never received their package L.P. was on his A* because he signed for it at 9pm when he got to the building. Nothing came of it but still a PITA.
