Chapter 7 Maintaining your Itron Mobile Radio
Your Itron Mobile Radio is rugged and water-resistant. However, you should take the
following precautions to ensure that it gives you many years of reliable service.
• Do not subject the radio to extreme temperatures, such as leaving it in a vehicle in bright
sunlight. For more information, see Battery Best Practices on page 10.
• Do not leave it in damp or dusty places.
• Do not drop your radio or subject it to severe impacts.
• Do not use products containing DEET near the Itron Mobile Radio. DEET will degrade the
radio's casing. DEET is a common ingredient in many insect repellents.
• When installing or replacing the battery, make sure to follow the provided instructions to
maintain water tightness.
• Use the rubber flap to protect the radio’s USB port in dusty conditions.
Cleaning the radio case
To clean the radio case:
1. Wipe the radio’s case with a damp cloth.
2. Use a soft-bristle brush to remove stubborn deposits.
3. Blow any water out of the connector and then leave the radio to drain and air-dry.
Warning
: Never use solvents of any kind on the case. Do not expose it to
temperatures above 140° F (60° C).
