Communication Ports
The Itron Mobile Radio has one micro-USB communication port under a protective rubber flap
on the side of the radio near the top.
Note: The USB cable supplied with the IMR-FT has a down-angle micro-USB connector
to facilitate proper cable management with the mounting jacket. Using a cable with a
straight or up-angle connector will put unnecessary stress on the radio USB port and may,
over time, lead to a poor cable connection.
In addition, the radio is equipped with an internal port for wireless Bluetooth
®
communications. If communication is in place through Bluetooth, attaching the USB cable
only provides power. Communication may occur through Bluetooth while charging with the
USB.
Note: Some Windows 7 or Windows 8 users may experience difficulty connecting to the
device via USB or may see a prompt to install an updated Texas Instruments driver for the
device. Download and install the Itron Mobile Radio USB driver available from Itron Access
at https://access.itron.com/ (available for registered users).
