A method of operating a device in the form of an autonomous vehicle (AV) 110-1 which is configured to communicate with a wireless telecommunications network 140. The AV may comprise a UAV carrying a payload 120. The method comprises detecting a fault associated with the AV and in response to detecting said fault, causing the AV to transmit a mayday wireless network communication 135 for alerting the wireless telecommunications network of the fault. The mayday wireless network communication is in the form of a system information message. The fault may relate to a battery 130 of the AV and this may result in a recovery AV 110-2 being dispatched to retrieve the payload 120.
