10. Battery Basics
The Itron Mobile Radio uses a rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery pack as its main
power source whenever it is not receiving power externally.
Caution: Do not use any battery other than the Itron-recommended bat-
tery. Using another battery could damage the radio.
Warning: Danger: Risk of Explosion! There is a risk of explosion if
the battery is replaced by an incorrect battery type. Dispose of used bat-
teries in accordance with local regulatory guidelines.
Warning: Danger: Il y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement incor-
rect de la batterie. Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même
type ou d’un type equivalent recommandé par le constructeur. Mettre au
rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions du fabricant.
Charge the radio's battery to 100 percent capacity before using it. Complete charging takes
about six hours. Charge the battery pack through the USB cable, which can draw power
from a computer, an AC wall adapter, or a 12V DC car adapter.
The Itron Mobile Radio meets the USB 2.0 Power Delivery standards. If the IMR does not
charge with your third-party device, validate that your device meets USB 2.0 standards. Not
all micro USB connectors meet the USB 2.0 standards.
