Asset management
Handsets, consoles, radios and accessories are assets that need to be effectively managed
throughout their life cycle. In some organisations it is a requirement to track assets and this can be
done by labelling them.
Another method of tracking an asset is to use the RFID tag to track radios and associated resources
(persons and vehicles).
Asset management refers to the periodic maintenance of your radios. Maintenance includes
software upgrades and reprogramming of the radio to ensure that it continues to meet your
requirements.
During programming the radio uploads information, such as the State of Health of the battery which
can also assist with auditing and end-of-life strategies.
Labelling
The simplest form of asset management is to attach labels to your radios and batteries. Self
adhesive labels (those with an adhesive backing) are recommended as they are easy to apply and
commercially available, such as 3M™ Thermal Transfer Polyester label material 7815.
Your radio and Sepura battery provide an area for attaching an asset label. Placing the label here
will prevent it interfering with the way the product is used.
Do not use solvent based adhesives. Always check the adhesive used with the self-adhesives label.
Do not engrave any part of the radio. Engraving the radio's casing may affect the compliance ratings
and may invalidate the product warranty.
Do not use paint, correction fluid or other forms of liquid or aerosol to write or mark the radio or an
accessory. Chemicals may affect the radio's casing and invalidate the compliance ratings and
product warranty.
Place a label on the back of the radio in the Radio user label area above the carrying aid attachment
point as shown.
Alternatively, a label can be placed on the Card Compartment door recess, but it must not interfere
with the fitting of the battery or the opening/closing of the card compartment.
