A filter selector in the top left corner of the screen can limit which

tasks are shown to make navigation easier. By default, all tasks

are displayed, however the displayed tasks may be limited to only

open tasks or only completed tasks. Tap the arrow next to the

current filter choice to select which tasks should be displayed.

Task Navigation

On either side of the address are

arrow keys that allow the technician

to move through the list of tasks. The single arrow moves to the

next or previous tasks; the double arrows move forward or

backwards through the list of tasks 10% at a time (for example,

with a list of 200 tasks, pressing the double-right-arrows will

advance 20 tasks).

Install Tasks

MIU installations are typically performed in response to an assigned work-order (task). MIUs may

also be installed independently by a technician (e.g. for a demonstration or as a repeater to

extend range). The installation processes for task assigned and independent installs are very

If the MIU location and meter ID

have not already been provided in

the work-order, a form is presented

for the technician to enter the Meter Id, Address, City, and State.

If installing a Repeater there will be no Meter Id. The Meter ID and

the Address are required fields. You may not proceed without filling

out all of the required fields.

Once a city and state have been entered, they are automatically

filled in for subsequent installs unless manually changed.

NOTE

this feature requires a GPS location lock as indicated by the GPS location icon

(satellite dish) in the upper right corner of the display.
