The charging device may only be used in dry and weather-protected envir- onments. Do not use force to insert the round battery charger plug. Turn it until it you can gently push it into the aquaradio® Mobile Receiver connector. Do not screw it too tight. ...
To avoid risk of suffocation, keep packaging film away from children! Operating Principle aquaradio® Mobile Receiver is a radio receiver for wireless M-Bus consumption meters (electricity, gas, water, heat and others). The received radio frames of the consumption meters are stored into an internal memory and are immediately transmitted to a hand- held computer using its Bluetooth interface, if a Bluetooth connection is established.
The warranty is void if you are using other antennas, active antennas or pre-amplifiers on the aquaradio® Mobile Receiver antenna connector. Pay especially attention not to cause any static electric discharge on the antenna connector of the aquaradio® Mobile Receiver.
To verify if the correct aquaradio® Mobile Receiver device is found you can compare the found Bluetooth name with the name / serial number on the back of the device (e.g.

0.35 seconds, default = 6 (2.1 seconds) This is the timeout for waiting for an answer from an external device connected to the serial interface of the aquaradio® Mobile Receiver. 9. 8. Send Data over External Serial Interface After the external serial interface has been switched on, it is possible to send data to a connected device (all bytes hexadecimal).
CC = 0x55, DL = 0x40, DH = 0x08 9. 10. Send Radio Frames aquaradio® Mobile Receiver devices are bidirectional radio transceiver, thus, capable of sending radio frames, also. In general, the configured radio frame is sent after a radio frame from the respective consumption meter has been received. Therefore, the command below is not directly sending the radio frame but stores the radio frame to the internal buffer of the aquaradio®...

To deactivate the radio frame sending, send this command with [TL] = 0. 9. 11. Send Radio Frames 2 aquaradio® Mobile Receiver devices are bidirectional radio transceiver, thus, capable of sending radio frames, also. The configured radio frame is sent after a radio frame from the respective consumption meter has been received. It is possible to store up to five dif- ferent frames addressing five different radio meters.
Count on how often the radio frame has already been sent. If NU = 0 then CT counts up and overflows to 0x00 at 0xFF. aquaradio® Mobile Receiver Reading Example Using the MBT1Re- ceiverLib The MBT1ReceiverLib is a software library containing functions for reading and programming MBT1 devices.

If the error persists, turn the device in for repair. After having dropped the aquaradio® Mobile Receiverdevice to the ground it is no longer possible to switch it on (there is no LED lit up after pressing the On button).
Switch the aquaradio® Mobile Receiver off (by holding the On button down for more than 5 seconds), wait 60 seconds and switch it on again. Retry the Bluetooth search then. Note, that it is not possible to switch off the device manually if a Bluetooth connection is established (Bluetooth LED lights up in amber).
