[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 356910, member: 13921"] That was what sucked on the unit I tested. You had to toggle between numbers and letters and the letter keys did not work if the number keys were selected. Had to press the toggle button twice to lock numbers and once to go back to letters. So, if I needed to key a 1Z number (and I did), I had to hit "1" toggle, "z" toggle, blah, blah, blah. When we switched from 3 to 4, it took me less than 1/2 a day to be proficient with 4. At the end of the day, I still was tripping up with the test unit. 2 thumbs way down. At 2 points during the day, we had to quit using the new one so that I could get caught up. Signatures were such a PITA that I quit using it for signature stops after 4 hours, it took waaaaay too long to type in a signature, toggle, enter delivery location (7-office) and enter the next address. Our center does not have PAS, so entering addresses after a signature involved toggling. To me, it seemed like a complete waste of time to test a diad that would obviously never make it to final development. I sheeted 85 stops and I would guess that it added 30 minutes to my day. All the extra toggling meant that I could not scan my walkways as effectively or scan my vehicle as I walked up to it. That meant either stopping to key or scan, then key inside my truck (that's what I did). Another disappointing thing to me, was that none of the 'test' boards was an improved version of diad 4. From what I saw, UPS is not spending it's diad development dough wisely. TB [/QUOTE]
