They just want to make sure the diad is with you so they can message you during lunch. If that diad can't stand the heat, neither can I.
DIAD V camera.
- Thread starter CHALLY9TX
- Start date
I turn off the transmitter when I go to lunch. they send me stupid messages all day....they ARE NOT going to ruin my lunch!!!
The Driver
I drive.
Betcha they're concerned about theft rather than heat.
The training didn't say to bring in any expensive packages. So, if you lock it in the back of the truck it will be fine. My lunch hour is my hour where NOBODY from work will be able to reach me. No Diad, No phone, No carrier pigeons.
Yea and they aren't even made in Israel anymore.

I would agree with you, but they said they didn't want it left in the package area. I guess I wasn't very clear when I said left in package car. I put everything in the back when I go on lunch, radio, Diad, and any other personal stuff.

Yes, $6,800 seems unbelievable but that's what our center manager told us when they arrived. Not sure why he would make up "$6800". It does have to do with specialized software and relatively low volume at which these are made. They aren't being sold in the millions like other electronics.
$400? You're kidding right? Cell phones retail for $600 (subsidized down to $200 for contracts) and they sell in the 10's of millions.

My diad resides in the 100+ degree heat of the cargo area on my lunch hour. I'm not taking it with me and I'm not going to be responsible for it.

The camera indeed works, and is always on... So they can secretly spy on you, they just dont tell you... :-/

When I put in my meal time to start lunch it disables the board. They may send a message but no sound comes out of the Diad.

You are responsible for the DIAD from the time you pull it out of the rack to the time you put it back.
Would you leave your iPhone in the cargo area in the middle of summer?

I put a bandaid over the camera on the back up monitor if that's what your talking about. I felt creeped out every time I would pick my nose or cuss out ups.
Yes, I would. Once the iPhone (and I would assume any smartphone) reaches a certain temperature it shuts itself down.
Mine shuts down all the time when I leave it in the sun on my deck.

I leave my iPhone in the back all day long, in a bag I bring. Management does not care about humans, only their property.

All I know is you better be able to scan any parcel & have the address come up immediately if running a misload, early AM, add cut, or Saturday delivery etc. with the DIAD 6!

True! I am literally in heat stroke prevention mode until 4pm when temperature outside starts to drop a bit! Still I am forced to work past 8pm twice a week! Thank God for 9.5 list.

DIAD 5 does NOT cost $6,800. Who the hell told you THAT? Google "hand held pda's" and you we see an almost exa
Who the hell told you DIAD 5 cost 7 grand? Google "hand held pdas" and you will see a picture of a device that is almost identical to DIAD 5 selling for $1,200. Would you pay $6,800 for a portable computer? If you would, I have some swamp land in Florida you might be interested in. You can't build on it now, but future technology will allow you to and this land is going to be worth 10 times as much in 5 years.
$6,800 for a DIAD? Seriously, don't believe another word your manager tells you. He's lying to you and is lying to you about more than this I would think.
