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).
