In the event that The Portable Interrogator 400 has a route stored in it for meter reading,
and you wish to replace it with a different route, you can use the Clear Reading function.
For example, if you just loaded The Portable Interrogator 400 with the wrong route, you
can use Clear Readings to remove the incorrect route before loading the correct one.
Clear Readings will remove the current route and all gathered meter readings from The
Portable Interrogator 400, as if it had never been loaded.
We recommend that you use the Clear Readings function ONLY when you are absolutely
sure that no meter readings will be lost. If you are not sure, it is best to use the Send
Readings function to send the route back to the Route Management software.
The Clear Readings function begins when you press the Clear Readings button. The
Portable Interrogator 400 will show you this screen, reminding you that if this route
contains meter readings, those readings will be lost.
Pressing the Yes button will remove the route from The Portable Interrogator 400.
Pressing the Do Not Clear the button will return you to the Transfer Routes menu without
removing the route information from The Portable Interrogator 400. If you press the
YES button, The Portable Interrogator 400 will clear the route. You’ll see this screen.
When The Portable Interrogator 400 has completed its work, you will return to the
Transfer Files menu.
