GETTING STARTED
The rechargeable batteries will probably work out-of-the box, but we strongly advise
you to fully charge the transmitter batteries as soon as
possible. This will enable you
to obtain the best life & durability from your rechargeable batteries. To charge the
batteries, connect the power adapter to the charging base. Insert batteries & place
your transmitter on the charging base and leave for 10 hours, then replace the
transmitter with the Saveometer display for a similar period. When batteries need
recharging battery icons will show on the display -
T
indicating the
transmitter
and
D
the
display.

Insert 3 batteries in the transmitter and 3 into the display, checking that
they are installed the correct way round. Placing the display on a (connected)
charging base will illuminate the back light & permanently enable the weather
forecast & temperature & humidity features. The Saveometer will usually function
“out-of-the-box”, even if the rechargeable batteries are not fully charged. When the
batteries are installed the display will initially show a default date, a 28 day
(simulated) bar chart, and “NO DATA”, indicating that data is not being received
from your electricity meter. If the display fails to show anything, please check the
batteries are correctly installed and/or recharge them immediately (as described
above) before going any further.

Set the time & date. To set the clock and date press the Top Button (TB) for
5 seconds until the display bar chart area shows “Time+Date”, then using the lower
key press S (to select). Using the lower keys again press < or > to set the hour, and
when correct press S to select. Then the minutes will blink; use the < & > keys to
adjust and when correct press S to select. Use the same procedure until the time and
date are correctly set and the display will show “DONE”. The default display
sequence will recommence, and the factory set 28 day bar chart will show.

Attach the transmitter sensor clip to the live (often called the positive) wire
that leaves your electricity meter (sometimes marked L). Electricity meters are
installed in numerous ways and many locations – under the stairs, boiler room, a
dedicated cupboard and so on. Below shows how a clip is typically atached:
