The 'U' on the top of the PDA

Lawrencepa2014 · Post by **Lawrencepa2014** » 15 Oct 2019, 13:56

Today I handed back in my PDA and logged it out as usual. The guy in the cage called me back over though to say I shouldn’t have logged it out because there were ‘notifications’ on the U. I have never heard of this before and I don’t know what it means. I didn’t ask any further questions and just logged it back in and handed it in. I’m not sure if that was the right thing to do though. What was I meant to have done? And what does it actually mean?

Ah ok because our mail centre lorry drivers strikes today so a lot of mail didn’t get to us. Could that be why? Because other than that I have no idea why that would have come up

Thought it was when your PDA is unable to connect to your local server for whatever reason and any jobs that are scanned during that period of time will not be accounted for until a server connection has been made. You can either do that with a reboot or once it goes back on the charging dock at your local office the PDA should connect automatically and they should get sent.

This sounds most likely tbh. Nothing to worry about then

that's correct but when it happens to me , I just reboot the pda and put my details back in and 9 times out of 10 they go through and disappear.

You have no need to log out it logs you out when charging, just give it in.

It’s unsent items. I work in an area with bad signal and someday go back with anything from 1-100 notifications haha. It doesn’t really matter if you log out as as soon as the pda is on the cradle it logs you out automatically and items should then be pushed through the system.
