User's Manual Part 2

Chapter 4 System Maintenance
The new power cable was designed to be easily distinguishable from the existing power
cable by placing a red and blue overmold on the connectors. A notice label was placed on
the chassis of the RF unit to remind you of this requirement.
The operation of the new power cable is slightly different from the previous power
connector. To engage the new power connector, align the connector tab with the connector
slot on the RF unit, insert the connector and then rotate clockwise 45 degrees. To disengage
the unit, pull back the locking tab on the cable connector and then rotate the connector 45
degrees counterclockwise. Notice labels were placed on both ends of your power cable to
remind you how to disengage the new power connector.
If you presently utilize a power cable that plugs into the cigarette
lighter, you will need to contact Itron Support at 1-800-635-8725 to
request a replacement cable. You will be required to send your old
cable in as an exchange. It should be noted that Itron does not
recommend the cigarette lighter adapter configuration except for
emergency use.
This change to the new power connector will be incorporated on all new MC2.5 being
shipped and all Mobile Collectors when they are returned for service.
If you have any questions, please contact Itron Support at 1-800-635-8725.
