A metering device (11) is configured so as to collect meter reading data and transmit the meter reading data to a remote system (13) via a wireless communication network (12). In addition, the metering device (11) is configured such that the timing for starting a prescribed communication is adjusted on the basis of prescribed information received prior to starting the prescribed communication after power to the metering device (11) has been restored. Thus, the timing with which the metering device starts communication can be adjusted in accordance with the conditions under which the power was interrupted or the conditions when power is restored, for example. |
