until the AuicGun is linked to an AumRead HandHeld Device
(ARJ'IHD).
ii the AutoGun is being used in cnnjuncfion with the AEHHD
while reading and the twn units are already linked, me data is
automatically forwarded to (he AR~HHD as the meters are being
read. Whether the AutoGun and AR-HHD are communicating via
a Shari range radio link or are physimiiy connected using a hard-
wire cord, the Ma units must nevertheless be virtually linked —
“instmcxed” to communicate with each other (via the built-in sak-
ware menus) by file user, The linking procedure is described in
Section _‘. Linking and Relinkingi
The AulsGun includes a law power indie frequency (RF) signal
transceiver (or communicafing with an AR-HHD. The low power
RF signal range is approximately 30 feet, so a connecting cord
