Battery Basics
The Itron Mobile Radio uses a rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery pack as its main power
source whenever it is not receiving power externally.
Caution:
Do not use any battery other than the Itron-recommended battery. Using
another battery could damage the radio.
Warning! Danger
:
Risk of Explosion!
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced by an incorrect battery type. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with
local regulatory guidelines.
Warning! Danger
: Il y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement incorrect de la
batterie. Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type ou d’un type
equivalent recommandé par le constructeur. Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées

Charge the radio's battery to 100 percent capacity before using it. Complete charging takes
about six hours. Charge the battery pack through the USB cable, which can draw power from a
computer, an AC wall adapter, or a 12V DC car adapter.
