5. Communication Ports
The Itron Mobile Radio has one micro USB communication port under a protective rubber
flap on the side of the radio near the top.
Note: The USB cable supplied with the IMR-XA and IMR-FT has a
down-angle micro USB connector to facilitate proper cable management
with the mounting jacket. Using a cable with a straight or up-angle con-
nector will put unnecessary stress on the radio USB port and may, over
time, lead to a poor cable connection.
In addition, the radio is equipped with an internal port for wireless Bluetooth
®
com-
munications. If communication is in place through Bluetooth, attaching the USB cable only
provides power. Communication may occur through Bluetooth while charging with the USB.
Note: Some Windows 7 or Windows 8 users may experience difficulty
connecting to the device via USB or may see a prompt to install an
updated Texas Instruments driver for the device. Download and install
the Itron Mobile Radio USB driver available from Itron Access at
https://access.itron.com/ (available for registered users).
