To turn the unit on, press and release the green Power key on the lower left hand corner of the keypad. To turn the unit off, 

press and release the Power key again.

One of the most convenient features of the unit is “instant on” and “instant off” (also known as “suspend/resume”). There is no 

waiting for the unit to boot up every time it is turned on. “Instant on” does not occur on the first boot-up. When the unit first 

turns on, the message “Tap the screen to set up your Windows Mobile-based device” will appear.

A password is not needed unless concerns arrise about unauthorized use. To eliminate using a password, tap Skip. Badger 

Meter recommends not assigning passwords to prevent the loss of reading data. See the warning on the next page that de-

scribes factory-default settings.

If you opt for password protection, the password must be entered every time you turn the unit on, or use the Power key to 

resume operation.

BE CERTAIN TO REMEMBER THE PASSWORD.

The only way to recover from a forgotten or lost password is to call the technical support group. Please refer to the section 

“What If Things Go Wrong” for assistance in case of a forgotten or lost password. 

The Trimble Ranger conserves battery power by turning itself off when not in use.  The Off function on the main menu also re-

moves power.  Pressing any key on the keypad for a few seconds will turn the unit back on and the  will show the same screen 

that was displayed when the unit turned off.  

Note that when the Trimble Ranger is on the Read screen or the Quick Read screen, it will NOT turn off automatically, because 

the Badger Meter ORION Reading functions are active.  If you wish to conserve the battery, be sure to return to the main 

menu.
