Servicing the IMR-FT Charge Base
Itron recommends changing the antenna cable connection in the charge base every 500
disconnects. If you take the radio out of the vehicle at the end of each day, you will need to
replace the antenna cable connector about every 2.5 years. If the IMR-FT is frequently
removed from the vehicle and operated with the rubber duck antenna, each of those
disconnects should also be factored into your service schedule. Note that the cable
replacement interval may be shorter.
Important! Servicing the charge base should only be done indoors, at a clean
location, with the radio powered off. Safeguards against static electricity should be
observed.
Removing the IMR-FT Charge Base
The charge base is located at the end of the radio opposite the label.
1. Unscrew four screws to remove the charge base from the IMR-FT and carefully lift off the
top half of the charge base, exposing the cable.
