Collecting Readings
On occasion, it could be necessary for the driver to stop and view
routes and display account detail. A meter reader can easily
suspend meter reading and restart it before continuing on a route.
See “Pausing and Restarting Meter Reading,” on page 4-19.
Starting Meter Reads
Follow this procedure to begin collecting meter readings after you
have positioned your vehicle at the starting address and started up
the MRX920 laptop computer.
1 From the welcome screen, press the Start button
and the routes on the USB flash drive automatically load into
the software.
2 Highlight the route where you begin reading.
The Route Selection screen automatically appears.
3 Click the route you want to see on the Missed Reads and
Captured Reads screens.
For the meter reader’s safety, the MRX920 unit is designed so that there is no
requirement to use the laptop display and keyboard while driving. To verify that the
unit is reading properly, use the beeper option to monitor readings.
To read meters, the plug-in power cord on the MRX920 unit must be connected to the
vehicle power supply receptacle. Make sure the red LED is lit on the power cable.
