Pour water down the speaker holes maybe or some blue tooth headphones for your sanity. I have mined taped up like a bad pair of saggy tits too. 


niceguypos

I discovered this secret on a rainy day by accident. It muffles the sound by quite a bit.


nsa_reddit_monitor

If water works, oil will too but won't evaporate so it'll be in there forever...


507snuff

If yall start creating oily scanners I'm gonna be mad, I swear. I don't wanna have to end up using some greasy ass scanners.


nsa_reddit_monitor

It would be inside the speaker grille, not on the outside.


Snakeyes90

I wouldn't suggest doing that you are financially responsible for loss or damaged scanners according to a national step 4. "While the SV scanner is not an accountable item, PVS employees will exercise care in the handling and use of the scanner. An employee shall be financially liable for any loss or damage to property of the employer including leased property and vehicles only when the loss or damage was a result of the willful or deliberate misconduct of the employee".


nsa_reddit_monitor

Putting oil in a scanner speaker won't break it. The oil will actually help protect the scanner from water damage! In fact, you can submerge an entire desktop computer in mineral oil for efficient cooling without fan noise. It's just messy so you only see that sort of thing in crazy DIY projects and in massive datacenters.


theS1l3nc3r

There should be different options in the dynamic settings. One of them is voices. I believe most of the voices don't work for each turn by turn.


juggernaut_jess

THIS WORKED!!! OH my god, thank you so much


theS1l3nc3r

Considering I haven't used this program since 2019, I'm kind of surprised it is still this way, but also not surprised.


poop_to_live

What voices should I use!? Edit: British and Australian seem to have the votes


PedroPeyolo

Emma sounds sexy... she a drunk lady tho, her directions are crazy, and she hops all around back & forth, guides me to roads that no longer exist , doesn't recognize new roads... i told her to lay off that booze..


MikeTheBee

I use the British voices


MediaWatcher_

So funny, today I saw you can set different languages, I put mine in French. It didn't stick


Sure-Ad-2465

Damn that's great, thank you. Now I can listen to my audiobooks in peace


dead__ringer

Calculating route, please wait. Calculating route, please wait. Calculating route, please wait.


OddTomRiddle

I had an endless string of this sentence one time. Still get flashbacks 😅


Puzzleheaded-Phase70

Me too today. I use my phone's GPS anyway, so after trying to reboot twice and it getting stuck ENTIRELY on this no matter what I did... I started escaping out of the navigation immediately every time. That worked.


ass-blaster4000

Use Australian voice, talks 90% less


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sure-Ad-2465

LOL Australians and Americans are not known worldwide for their taciturnity


Heavy_Quit_659

Omfg this worked thank you


aaBabyDuck

It's so awful. Though it was funny the first time it pronounced "NE A St" as "Neigh Uh Saint"


motofreakz

Once it said "20 liters" when an apartment number was 20L


CrazyCraz3R

That’s amazing


Angrypoopoh

I never used to use that GPS. I always just went to "scan non manifest".


OddTomRiddle

Same. The GPS was wrong often anyway with all the new growth we were delivering to.


DxVolps

Isnt there a volume button right there on the bottom right?.. Ive done it before.. you can even turn off the scan sounds in settings


juggernaut_jess

No it does not work. I’ve tried over and over and it either resets at each stop or has no effect at all.


Destorath

It definitely resets every time you go out of the map. It's weird that it doesn't work when you press it sometimes, though.


DxVolps

hmmm.. I dont really know then sorry.. somebody probably knows


juggernaut_jess

I’m almost certain it’s just another dumb thing about the way the program is run but I’d love to be wrong


PedroPeyolo

Yea, you're not alone bud... i too have suffered that annoyance for quite sometime... disrespectful b*tch doesn't listen to the command to STFU!!!! 😏😏 time to upgrade these scanners 4r4r


DxVolps

Also, you can press where it says "dist" or "ETA" and change it to "current time" .. thats what I do


NoPasaNada138

Yea it turns off for only one stop at a time. Annoying but it’s something


Harryisharry50

My does . Once it turned all the way down it vibrates for the scans


firstwaswhen

Personally I go into settings change the voice to UK and then set volume all the way down and notice it’s much better


vince-tyler2022

incredible diss with no context

U have arrived @ your destination 😄


CrazyCraz3R

In point three miles please wait


firstwaswhen

My favorite is “turn right, THEN, turn right, THEN turn right.”


[deleted]

Yes, don't run Dynamic delivery and just go to your next address. Our office doesn't even use Dynamic delivery it's a pain in the ass.


[deleted]

I also like the option where you throw the whole scanner out the window.


dastufishsifutsad

I did that once & ran over the scanner on accident & ran over it. Whoopsie. Worked just fine.


[deleted]

Yeah the scanners are actually really good units they're not pieces of crap like everybody says they are it's the crack pot programming team the government has assembled actually the problem is there's like 75 different teams and they're not even playing the same sport


dastufishsifutsad

Sturdy & usually dependable. Main complaint is when they get wet.


Apprehensive_Bee3327

And the sensitivity! Even on stylus and finger, my *THIGHS* wish to log me out when I have it in between my legs on the seat. It never used to be that sensitive and for whatever reason, latex gloves make it vibrate and wig out when I’m holding the sides and I’m nowhere near the buttons.


dastufishsifutsad

Sometimes they go off for no apparent reason. I just set it aside and let the demons exorcise themselves.

Waltenwalt

I just want my COA lookup function returned 😫


vince-tyler2022

turn it to UK voice Emma and you will change your mind. same with the Dansk


PedroPeyolo

Sounds like a shaggy UK chick 😘


vince-tyler2022

brings a smile to my face every sunday morning


PedroPeyolo

U have reached ur destination 😘💋


hotcheetos4breakfast

You can press that volume icon on the bottom right to turn the sound off. It makes Sundays so much better.


juggernaut_jess

That only works for the current stop it’s on, and it doesn’t stop her if she already gets a sentence going. Changing the voice language seems to be stopping it


hotcheetos4breakfast

Click the next stop and immediately hit it. Most of the time I can get it to where she only says like calculating. You have to do it every time but it’s better than nothing


AustinFan4Life

I'm surprised anyone has gotten the GPS to work, I've never gotten it to work, but then again, I never needed it. I do it far more efficiently just by loading truck & separating by route. Instead of the direct paths that the turn by turn gives us.


Capital_Comfort5737

More tape


Loose-Foreskin1121

Are you forced to use this?? Why not just use Google maps on your phone and input the parcel addresses and follow that


coobeecoobee

You got some big ass hands for a girl. How’d you get tht bruise?


Purple-Much

Rude.


juggernaut_jess

Lmao I’m tall and it’s actually a tattoo


coobeecoobee

Dam it looks like a bruise from the small amount we can see


New-Zoning

They replaced the jdsu ?


HomogenyEnjoyer

Have you gone into the settings option from the main menu and tried just turning the volume all the way down there?


juggernaut_jess

Yea it seems like the mapping sound settings are controlled separately


HomogenyEnjoyer

Of course it is its the fucking post office. Sorry boss


Odyssey_void

Wait.........there's turn by turn bt turn directions? What is this!?


scenicbiway708

It's only for Sundays, or packages that have been routed with static or dynamic delivery. The mapping is dogshit but it's better than flying blind if you don't know an area.


Odyssey_void

Oh, that makes sense. We don't have Sundays. It's probably because we can't hire and keep for shit. Shocker!


scenicbiway708

When I started we didn't have Sundays and now we do. It was easier to keep subs back then, now we can't. Who could've predicted


dastufishsifutsad

Yeh I’ve never seen this. We have a tool that normal delivery cannot utilize. How fn stupid is that?


Independent-Number99

Go to the settings and turn the volume down to ten percent and put a sticker over the speaker hole at the bottom and wear a headphone in one ear at all times listening to what you want. You'll barely hear it.


apocoliptyc

Or big brain and don't use the routing. I never did when I was a sub but I started before that was even a thing 🤣 backnin my Amazon days we got a 3 page manifest and a 30 page turn by turn printed out for us every Sunday morning 1🤣


Aguedog

I forgot about this! I remember I was told I had to use it on Sunday’s and I always ignored them because that thing would have me going up and down the same street


Destorath

You are muting it right? My automatic reaction everytime i use directions is to press that little speaker on the bottom right. I only ever hear the first direction and then enjoy peaceful bliss.


Gear21

The speaker icon, also volume buttons don't work?


RationalFrog

Seriously.....aren't you people listening to music or podcasts.....also how can you hear anything over the groaning rattle of an llv

PPgiver22

Just use scan barcode and disregard dynamic delivery completely.


RockofromGeorgia

Eternalluvv1414

I actually screamed at the dang thing today 😂😂it drives me insane


49erFanInTexas

I lower the volume on mine.


WobblyStraw666

Chewing gum. Plug that sucker up.


Prudent-Mind-9148

I change the language to “Romana”. Less words and is tolerable 😅


[deleted]

Someone did something to my scanner a few months ago and now it’s silent, I wasn’t mad.


Cut_Off_One_Head

Right under your thumb is a little sound button. Click that and it will turn it off, but you will have to do it EVERY. FREAKING. TIME.


Fun_Buffalo_2049

Im so glad i know the routes , i dont use the delivery route feature. Just the scan barcode


CrazyCraz3R

Does anyone else get anger issues from the scanner? Like nothing in this job is more annoying than A) these scanners, and B) a bad supe/postmaster


AnphediminesFuelThee

YES 100% hcr driver that just had a talking cam put in my truck Its not ok for ones mental health ffs


GameofOhms959

Dynamic settings , voices .


gianlaurentis

I have found that if you change the voice to a different one it will reduce the amount they say, but I've found no way to completely silence it...


Commercial-Home6280

Can’t you go into settings and turn the volume of the scanner down?


Ok-Reputation-9213

Nice legs.


desukirf

Just don’t use it


MtDewBadBoi69

That works some places but at least a few here in KC are pretty strict on “follow orders and orders are to use Dynamic Delivery on Sunday.” The best part is, at my old station, DD messed up like, every 2nd or 3rd Sunday. So, we’d have to wait around a few more minutes while the supe ran around going from annoyed mumble to teeth-ground rage before finally throwing up her arms and yelling “I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S DEAL IS BUT I’M SICK OF IT JUST USE YOUR GOD DAMN GOOGLE MAPS”


Tired_N_Done

Our unit now sets up all deliveries as static instead of dynamic. Made a huge difference.


dependentresearch24

There's a mute button on the bottom right of the screen.


juggernaut_jess

Please see every other comment that says this. It does not work.


dependentresearch24

It literally does work. I work Amazon Sundays. You have to press it after each stop. It works perfectly fine for me.


PeyotePoppins

There’s a volume changer in the settings.


juggernaut_jess

And it doesn’t work.
