Transmitter Parameters
The following parameters can be modified using the AMR
ToolBox Configuration tools:
• Tx Frequency (450-470MHz), if the frequency is not
suitable or if there is interference. Do not change the
frequency without FCC approval. This parameter is
changed in the Transmitter Radio Configuration tool.
• Transmissions Rate (6/day, 4/day, 1/day, or 1/week),
as required. This parameter is changed in the AMR
Parameters tab of the Transmitter Configuration tool.
• Number of Repetitions (0-3), generally when there are
reception problems. This parameter is changed in the
AMR Parameters tab of the Transmitter Configuration
tool.

Increasing the number of repetitions significantly
reduces the life of the battery. This step should be
taken only in extreme cases and with the approval of
authorized personnel.
To change a transmitter parameter, go to the relevant tab,
change the value and save the change. For more
information on transmitter parameters, see the AMR
ToolBox User Guide.
