Itron recommends the following practices to ensure long battery life:
• Charge the radio at room temperature (approximately 68° F/20°
C) for best results.
• Charge the radio at the end of each work day.
• Check the charge status at the beginning of each work day.
Tip The battery will not charge in an environment that
is 32º F/0º C or less.
To check the battery’s power level
1. Make sure the BCR is turned off completely.
2. Press the ON/OFF button for less than one second (see 900 MHz
Belt Clip Radio Features on page 9).
The POWER LED (see POWER LED) flashes to indicate the
battery’s power level, as described in the following table:

PWR LED power indicator
90% or more Four green flashes
75% or more Three green flashes
50% or more Two green flashes

After it indicates the power level, the BCR runs through an LED
test cycle.
