Applies to: All devices except MCP50. All values apply to OmniTRACS (MCT) and OmniExpress (TMCT) mobile devices; only the Blank value applies to other MCP device types.

Screen Behavior When Moving

Controls what the driver terminal does when the vehicle is in motion:

None—the driver can operate the driver terminal while driving.
Blank—the driver cannot use the terminal while driving. Drivers of MCP-equipped vehicles can use the RCD to listen to a message, but cannot see it on the screen. You are strongly advised to select Blank.
Main, Freeze—both options prevent the driver from changing screens while driving.
