Notification icons

Two notification icons display in the upper-right corner of the LCD (in all views) when the
applicable conditions are present.
The Bell icon represents an Active event or alarm. Active events occur when the device
detects that the meter is currently in this event. As long as the meter is in this event, the
bell icon remains visible. When the event ceases, the icon is no longer visible. If the
active icon is visible, the operator can switch to Notification view to see which events are
currently set. Additionally, the utility can use field tools to extract the events for further
troubleshooting.
The Flag icon represents a recent event or alarm. Recent events indicate that an event
occurred within a predetermined time frame.

Battery icon

The OMNI LCD displays a battery icon to represent battery life. This icon displays in all
views when the battery is low or needs to be replaced.
The battery notification displays on the LCD when any of the following conditions are
triggered:
Near End of Life Alarm - A near end of life notification is triggered 9.5 years from
the date of installation or 10.5 years from the date of manufacture, whichever comes
first. This notification remains active until the end of life alarm is triggered.
End of Life Alarm - An end of life notification is triggered 10 years from date of
installation or 11 years from date of manufacture, whichever comes first. The LCD
indicates an end of life notification by flashing the battery icon in 0.5 sec intervals.
Low Battery Volts - The low battery volts notification is triggered when the battery
voltage drops due to over usage. This low voltage alarm indicates the battery will
expire soon, so the device must be replaced. The LCD indicates a low battery volts
notification by flashing the battery icon in 0.5 sec intervals.

Dead battery read

The Omni+ register contains a near field communications (NFC) interface. This interface
can be used to retrieve a last time read from a register that has failed due to a dead
battery or other reason.
The information is stored as a standard NDEF type 5 text record and can be read with
any compatible NFC reader such as a mobile phone. The information in the NFC tag is
updated every 15 minutes. Compatible phones include iPhone 7 or newer and most
advanced Android phones.
