8. Maintaining your Itron Mobile Radio
Your Itron Mobile Radio is rugged and water-resistant. However, you should take the fol-
lowing 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 sun-
light. For more information, see Battery Best Practices List on page26.
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 main-
tain water tightness.
Use the rubber flap to protect the radio’s USB port in dusty conditions.
Protect the antenna and power connectors on the IMR-XA charge base when the radio is
being installed, removed, or carried.
The IMR-XA charge base is not water resistant. Protect it from rain and moisture.
Ensure that the IMR-XA external antenna whip is securely connected to its mounting base.
Cleaning 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 (50° C).
