To store your BCR
1. Connect the BCR to external power and allow the battery pack to
fully charge.
• If the radio is on, the POWER LED flashes green twice
(quickly) every two seconds while charging. When it shines
steadily green, charging is complete.
• If the radio is off, the POWER LED flashes alternately red
and green while charging. It stops flashing and the light goes
off when charging is complete.
See LED Status Indicators on page 10.
2. Remove external power, exit all applications, and turn off the
unit before placing it in storage.
Upon removal from storage, the battery pack requires additional
charging.
Note Remove the BCR’s battery before storing the
device for periods longer than two weeks.
Daily Operation
Itron recommends the following daily measures to help maximize the
service life of your 900 MHz Belt Clip Radio and resolve any
problems you might experience.
• At the beginning of each day of operation, inspect the radio for
broken, loose, or missing parts and fasteners, taking corrective
action as required.
• Make sure the BCR is operated and stored within the
recommended temperature range.
– Operating temperature: -4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
– Storage temperature: -40° F to 158° F (-40° C to 70° C)
Cold temperature extremes may result in reduced available
energy from the battery pack. This energy is recoverable as the
battery pack warms to 68° F (20° C).
