 Roman Way…

Q. My MDT ‘freezes’ when out of range or I’m in a ‘dead spot’?
A. Firstly try pressing the ‘re-
sync’ button. If this is unsuccessful, remove the 5amp fuse as above, replace fuse and try again. No luck? Then it’s a trip to Roman Way…

Q: Re my radio, the MDT is not on. There is no power to the radio (small black box by feet) because there is no light showing?
A: Remove the 20amp fuse (next to 5amp) and check if it’s ok. Replace fuse if blown or simply refit original, ensuring clean connections.
Q:
I can’t ‘CLJ’ through the terminal?
A:
It is most likely that the ‘blue’ bulb has blown on the small hire sign light. Replace with correct wattage bulb…

   If you get a ‘meter fault’ message  on the screen, it is very important to write it down accurately to assist the service bay to diagnose the fault. There are several different (though similar)
messages, and recording the message exactly as it is on the screen, will greatly assist the engineer to effect a speedy repair.
   Finally, it is important to remove those two fuses (the 5 and 20amp) if you have to ‘jump-start’ your cab as a possible electrical power surge could cause them to blow and possibly leave you with one or more of the problems above.
   Only DaC engineers should deal with any problems other than those specified above. Call Sign would like to thank Dana at the Roman Way Service Dept for his assistance with this article…

No, the heading to this article doesn’t refer to building your own terminal fitting bay, but to help you out by giving you some simple remedies to common faults that could save you a trip to the DaC Service bays at Roman Way.
   These tips are designed as simple ‘get you home’ measures and not an overhaul of your radio equipment - no matter how tempting that may be! Please bear in mind that tampering with the Society’s equipment is an offence and that these little snippets are all  

you should undertake. If in doubt, please visit Roman Way…

These apply to TX1 / TXII models only

Q: My MDT ‘red light’ stays on and I cannot switch it off. Neither does the terminal ‘boot up’?
A:
Check the 5amp fuse in Aux 1or 2 of the cab fuse box.
Remove the fuse, count to 3 and replace the fuse. Start system. If the problem continues, visit

DIAL-A-CAB CREDIT UNION

By the time you read this article, Christmas would have been and gone leaving the New Year right upon us and signalling the end of the so-called busy period. We at the Credit Union use these times to invest most of the monies that come in from you, the DaC drivers and staff, so that we can pay a dividend at the end of our financial year. When I say we use these times to invest the money, it’s because when you are earning well no one needs a loan or takes out money from your shares. Our busy loan period is always the end of January and the end of July, due of course, to HM Inland Revenue! You know, that club that you’d rather not be in!
   The reason I’m telling you this is because at these times, work is not so easy to come across and the system DaC operate is that if you are short in your credit work, they will not make up the difference to pay your Credit Union. So I would ask all of you drivers out there to keep an eye on your sheets to see if your Credit Union money has been paid. At the end of the week, we get a sheet with all the drivers names on it who have been stopped by Warren Smith at Dial-a-Cab, we then take those names off our system and that week’s loan re-payment does not get paid. We only know that a particular driver is falling behind in their loan re-payment when the computer prints out a debtor’s list. We then look at that persons  account and see what has gone wrong, usually by means of a phone call and a share (savings)-

to-loan payment is made. I would be most grateful if you can keep an eye out for this and just give
me a call so we can make an alternative arrangement if necessary.
   Enough of the technical jargon, let me ask you to help get us some more members. Remember you do not have to have a loan you can just save, because you never know when you might need us. Just ask some of the drivers at around the end of January what they do? If you want to become a member, just call me at the number below and I’ll be only too pleased to send you one of our brochures.
   That leaves me with just one thing left to do and that is on behalf of Terry Dodd, Val Gomez, Brian Flanagan, the Loans and Supervisory committees and myself to wish you all a healthy and happy New Year.
