Entering New Accounts

The Badger-Radix can add accounts to the list of stored accounts it received from the Badger CONNECT software. But before you add a new account in the Badger-Radix, be aware that the Badger CONNECT software can display the accounts that you add but cannot permanently add them to its database. Information from accounts added in the Badger-Radix can be printed when the accounts are downloaded to Badger CONNECT, but the accounts will not be added to the Badger CONNECT database. New accounts are added to Badger CONNECT when the list of meters to read is sent from the billing system.

Note that if you need to read a few meters for testing purposes, there is no need to create a new account. Simply use the Badger-Radix Quick Read feature. See the Quick Read section of this manual for more information.

If you need to enter a new account into the Badger-Radix, press the New Account “N” button from the Read Menu.
