Abstract
A method for operating an electronic consumption-data acquisition device includes wirelessly transferring consumption data to a receiver over a first radio system, operating the consumption-data acquisition device in a first operating mode in which the consumption data is transferred over the first radio system and a second operating mode having a lower rate of transmission and/or readiness to receive compared with the first operating mode, with it being possible to switch between the first and second operating modes. The switchover between the first and second operating modes is performed by a second radio system. A consumption-data acquisition device includes a communication module having a radio apparatus for a second radio system which can be used to perform the switchover between the first and second operating modes.
