Diad keeps dying in cold

[Savvy412]

Today my Diad died at 330. Had to run 120 stops with no board. Worst part about it was. Had to come back and manually punch in all the stops. It was about 2 degrees here .

What do you guys do to avoid this. This is the second time happening to me this winter.

 

[Rack em]

Ask them to send you out with a spare battery?

Sounds like a good reason to let the truck run all day with the DIAD sitting on top of the defroster vents.





Win-win.

That happens here, but thankfully we haven't seen two degrees yet (Boston).

Keep the DIAD near the warmest air flow when you have the heat on.

Other than that, not much.

Keep it in your vest pocket under your outer jacket?

Win-win.

Now you're talking my language.

Ask to have the battery swapped out. We routinely see below 0 for extended periods of time. Usually getting a new battery does the trick.

Haha they dont fix anything unless its completely dead.
If something is wrong with your board swap it with another drivers in the rack.

It needs a deep discharge.

Bring an extra board with you and keep it wrapped in a sweatshirt so it stays warm in case you need to use it

Doesn't that put into "sleep mode"?

Between your tights is the warmest part of your body on days like this.

Between your tight what?

Oh mama

 

[Big Arrow Down...D]

Oh mama

Would you mind if I held down the buttons A,K and X while warming?

Does that still work on the DIAD V's?

 

[Jackburton]

Changing out the batteries between DIADS voids the warranty, ask your OMS that does DIAD send backs.

 

[Big Arrow Down...D]

Does that still work on the DIAD V's?

Yes.

....^^^so what might this do?

It's like control-alt-delete and resets the DIAD.
