INITIAL STARTUP
Before using the handheld for the first time, see "Initial Setup" onpage66 to ensure that the device is set up correctly and
the battery is charged.
OTE:N In addition to the keypad/keyboard, the handheld has a touch screen. Use the stylus to navigate and select objects
on the touch screen or simply touch the screen with your finger. For complete information, see "Using the Touch
Screen" onpage71.
SOFTWARE SECURITY MODES
The Trimble Ranger 3 handheld can operate in one of two modes:
• Admin mode gives full-use access to all the software loaded on the handheld. In this mode, battery life may be
affected if applications such as Internet services and email are running.
• Kiosk mode gives access to Badger Meter software, with date and time changes only. After the software
installation is complete, the Kiosk mode application is located in the My Documents folder as shown below and
can be activated from that location. Tapping the file immediately installs Kiosk mode and requires a password
security code to uninstall.
To be able to use the barcode scanner while in Kiosk mode, the shortcut button for using the scanner must
be set while in Admin mode, before changing to Kiosk mode. See "Barcode Scanner" onpage73 for
additional information.

Badger Meter Technical Support.
