Changing Read Mode
Choose Manual mode or Auto mode when reading routes with the handheld.
Manual Mode Auto Mode
• Advances to the next account in the reading order once a meter
reading is entered/received.
• Automatically advances to the next unread
account once a reading is received.
• The Prev and Next buttons are used to navigate through the
accounts.
• No manual navigation capabilities are
available.
• When an account comes up that already has an ORION reading
entered, the read is displayed and you must manually advance to
the next account.
To toggle between manual and automatic mode, follow these steps.
1. From an ORION account, press the A key on the keypad.
2. The word Auto will appear on the left side of the screen to indicate the handheld is now in the automatic mode. The
screen will no longer display the Prev and Next buttons.
3. To return to manual mode, press the A key again. The word Manual will appear on the left side of the screen and the
Prev and Next buttons display at the top of the screen.
Note: Auto mode cannot be selected if the account displayed is a manual read or touch account.
Regardless of which mode is active, reads will be applied to the appropriate accounts as they are received. The handheld will
accept the read, beep and store the read data.
