Manage Reading Scenarios
If this setting is not selected, the system does not display
any message and begins a search for a match at another
location on the route.
• Prompt when not found on route - This setting determines
how the AR5000 responds when the system reads a meter
ID that does not match any meter ID information stored
for the route.
If this setting is selected, the system displays a message
when the ID does not match.
If this setting is not selected, the system does not display
any error message and stores data directly into the
AR5000 memory.
• Enter note on apply - This setting allows the office staff to
configure a message that is attached to every reading that
is applied to an address.
More information on where these settings affect the display
are provided as part of these sections -

 Resolve Readings That Don’t Match
the Displayed Location
During the course of reading a route, you can encounter a
mismatch between the actual ID on a meter and the meter
ID displayed on the AR5000 screen. To resolve this type of
mismatch, you can apply the reading to the current location
or search the route for the ID.
Note
This error only occurs with TouchRead or
RadioRead systems. For more information, see
Enter TouchRead Readings on page 2-16 and
Enter RadioRead Readings (AR5002 only) on
page 2-18.
