THE READALL COMPANION CRADLE
An optional companion cradle is also offered with the ReadAll. The cradle can be used
to hold the ReadAll when reading meters in the vehicle. The cradle will charge the
ReadAll battery as well as automatically connect the ReadAll to separate transmit and
receive antennas for reading TRACE meters. Note that these antennas should be
mounted at least 3 feet apart with the transmit (shorter) antenna in the front area of the
roof of the vehicle, and the receive (longer) antenna in the center or back part of the roof
of the vehicle.
THE TOUCH SCREEN AND THE UNIT
The most important feature of the ReadAll is the touch screen. The screen is large
enough to make viewing the meter reading functions very easy. The screen is designed
so that glare is not a problem, even in very bright sunshine.
