c) After performing the Import function, the status of the selected route changes
to Ready To Load (Data: Not Loaded) and the column Meters Read/On Route
updates with the number of meters imported. This number should match the
number of meters sent over from the billing system and signifies that the route file
did successfully Import into the AutoRead database. The data is not yet loaded
to the device, as is noted in the second part of the route's status of (Data: Not
Loaded). If the status of the selected route did not change to Ready To Load (Data:
Not Loaded), an error occurred during the Import process. Check the Error column
of the selected route(s) for any errors, and refer to Appendix A or contact Sensus
Technical Services at 1-800-638-3748.
Note
: If an (e) appears to the left of the route name after performing an Import function,
Route Exceptions have been detected. Refer to Section 7.5 for more information.

added to the route prior to loading it. Refer to Section 7.2 for more information.
