2. Suspending and Shutting Down TranAir
Using a java application, such as TranAir, makes other phone functions inaccessible or no longer in
view. If you need to access other phone functions while TranAir is running, you will need to Suspend
TranAir. If you receive a Direct Connect Call or Phone Call while TranAir is running, it will
automatically Suspend TranAir. You will need to Suspend TranAir to make a Direct Connect call to
dispatch. You will receive separate instructions on how to use voice communications.
Suspending a java application does not mean it is no longer running or that it is frozen. It simply
means that the visible part of the program is suspended, but the actual program is still running and
able to send and receive data.
Now that you have TranAir running on the screen in front of you, let's practice suspending and
resuming it briefly.
Press the
Red Hang-Up
this point, it is only partially suspended and you have 3 choices:
a) You can press END which will completely terminate TranAir (shut it down) If you ever get into
a situation where TranAir becomes unsynchronized with the Dispatch system, exiting the
program and re-starting it will automatically re-synchronize your phone with the dispatch
system. To do this, press the hang up key once while TranAir is on your screen, then press
END. You may then re-start TranAir as described in #1 above.
b) You can resume the TranAir application by pressing OK
c) You can complete suspending TranAir by pressing the
it disappears from view and you may access other phone features.
3. Resuming TranAir Once Suspended
If the TranAir program is suspended, you will see a folder in the Java Apps menu that will say
"Suspended" as the title. By selecting this item with the OK button, you can either end the TranAir
program (shut it down) by pressing the END soft key or resume it with OK.
4. Log On
The first time you start TranAir at the beginning of your shift, you may be required to log-on. You will
know when this is required because TranAir will take you to that step, displaying Log On at the top of
its screen.

then enter your driver PIN number and press
management.
Note that if letters appear in the entry window instead of numbers, press the MENU key
while the entry window is open and change the phone to numeric mode. Then, backspace
out any incorrect letters you entered with the *< key and enter your driver PIN.
Once you have logged on, there is no need to log-on again during your shift, even if
something went wrong (for example, you re-started TranAir to re-synchronize it) In other
words, just because TranAir was turned off and back on, this does not mean you need to
log back on.
