Troubleshooting Problem Power Meter isn t turning on Power Meter isn t showing the right information Power Meter isn t counting the energy usage Power Meter isn t displaying any information How can I find out the cost of my electricity in KWh? Solution The battery in the Power Meter may be flat. Replace the batteries by using a screwdriver to open the battery compartment at the rear of the product. Replace the batteries using 2 x LR44 batteries, observing the correct polarity. Try resetting the Power Meter to its default setting (see page 9 regarding the RESET button). Re-program your settings. The Power Meter will not start counting energy usage unless the attached device is using more than 2W of energy. Make sure your power outlet is switched on. Check your most recent power bill or contact your electricity provider. 15
