1. Introduction

This document details the features and functions of the Itron Mobile Radio and provides

information relating to its use and maintenance.

The Itron Mobile Radio is available in several models: the original handheld, portable Itron

Mobile Radio (IMR) with a built-in antenna and the new External Antenna and Field Tools

versions of the IMR (IMR-XA, IMR-FT) that are mounted in a vehicle for mobile drive-by end-

point reading and field tool operations, respectively.

All IMR models share many of the same features and operations. Those common to all

models will be described and attributed to the IMR in a generic sense. Key differences in

models will be described and attributed to either the portable IMR or the mobile IMR-XA and

IMR-FT.
