When the BCR is plugged into the (powered) cradle, the cradle
provides it with power. While the radio is in the cradle, Bluetooth
communication is possible, as long as the USB cable is not connected
to the radio. If the USB cable is connected (see To charge the battery
through the USB cable), the radio still draws power from the cradle,
but communication can take place only through the USB cable, and
Bluetooth communication is disabled.
Replacing the Charging Cradle’s Contact Pins
If the contact pins on the charging cradle become bent or broken, you
can easily replace them. Use your fingers or a pair of needle-nosed
pliers to remove the damaged pins and insert new ones in the empty
holes.
Spare or replacement contact pins are available directly from Itron
customer service representatives (part number 320-0167-002). Use
only replacement pins provided by Itron with the 900 MHz Belt Clip
Radio charging cradle.
