Troubleshooting Guide

 

 

Generally, there are only 3 things that can go wrong with your 

EMU-2

™:  

1.  The device stops working and needs to be restarted 

2.  There is no power to the unit  

3.  The device cannot connect to the smart meter 

If the screen is dark and the unit does not respond to button presses, then either  there 
is a problem with power (see Step 2 below), or the unit requires a restart (see Step 1). 

If the wireless link bar graph in the upper right corner of the screen is down to 1 bar, or 
has  been  replaced  by  an  “X”,  then  your 

EMU-2

™  is  having  trouble  connecting  to  the 

smart meter (see Step 3). 
 

Step 1. Restart the EMU-2

™ 

 
If  the 

EMU-2

™  screen  is  not  displaying  anything,  and  it  does  not  respond  to  button 

presses, then try restarting the unit. 

To restart your 

EMU-2

™: 

a)  Remove the batteries, if installed 

b)  Unplug the power plug 

c)  Wait 10 seconds 

d)  Plug the power plug back in 

e)  Check the display to verify 

EMU-2

™ is working 

 

 
Step 2. Check the Power 

 
If the 

EMU-2

™ is not responsive, and restarting it has no effect, check to see if the AC 

Adapter  is  working  correctly.    This  can  easily  be  done  by  unplugging  the  unit  and 
installing new batteries.  If the 

EMU-2

™ works with the batteries, then the AC Adapter is 

probably faulty. 

 
Notes on Battery Replacement 

Your 

EMU-2

™ uses 2 AAA batteries for short-term alternative power.  To ensure a 

trouble-free battery operation: 

a)  Replace the batteries when the battery indicator shows 1 bar.
