Asset management
Handsets, consoles, radios and accessories are assets that need to be
effectively managed throughout their life cycle. In some organisations it is a
requirement to track assets and this can be done by labelling them.
Another method of tracking an asset is to use the RFID tag to track radios and
associated resources (persons and vehicles).
Asset management refers to the periodic maintenance of your radios.
Maintenance includes software upgrades and reprogramming of the radio to
ensure that it continues to meet your requirements.
Note:
During programming the radio uploads information, such as the
State of Health of the battery which can also assist with auditing and end-
of-life strategies.
Labelling
The simplest form of asset management is to attach labels to your radios and
batteries. Self adhesive labels (those with an adhesive backing) are
recommended as they are easy to apply and commercially available, such as
3M™ Thermal Transfer Polyester label material 7815.
Your radio and PowerTrunk battery provide an area for attaching an asset
label. Placing the label here will prevent it interfering with the way the
product is used.
Caution:
Do not use solvent based adhesives. Always check the adhesive
used with the self-adhesives label.
Caution:
Do not engrave any part of the radio. Engraving the radio's
casing may affect the compliance ratings and may invalidate the product
warranty.
