SOFTWARE SECURITY MODES
The Trimble Ranger 3 handheld can operate in one of two modes:
• Admin mode gives full-use access to all the software loaded on the handheld. In this mode, battery life may be
affected if applications such as Internet services and email are running.
• Kiosk mode gives access to Badger Meter software, with date and time changes only. After the software
installation is complete, the Kiosk mode application is located in the My Documents folder as shown below and
can be activated from that location. Tapping the file immediately installs Kiosk mode and requires a password
security code to uninstall.
OTE:N To be able to use the barcode scanner while in Kiosk mode, the shortcut button for using the scanner
must be set while in Admin mode, before changing to Kiosk mode. See "Barcode Scanner" onpage67
for additional information.

The software security mode is set at the time of order. If the software security mode needs to be changed, contact
Badger Meter Technical Support.
