Getting Started - SSE Smart Meter Handbook

Getting started.

Your installer has already plugged in and 'paired' your Smart Energy Monitor with
your smart meter(s). So it's now ready to use. Remember to always keep it in a
prominent position so that it's easy to check on a regular basis.
Make your meter(s) work better for you – enter your estimated
annual consumption (EAC)
We've already preset your monitor with an EAC for electricity of 3,300 kWh
(based on the British average household figure). We've used this EAC to preset
a 5% per year energy savings target on your monitor. We recommend that you
enter your actual EAC – that way you can set a savings target that's realistic for
you. You'll find your EAC on your annual statement, or we can let you know
what it is if you call us on the phone number on your bill. Please have your
account details to hand when you call.
Here's how to enter your own EAC
1. Remove the battery cover by squeezing the sides
2. Press the 'settings' button firmly then turn over the monitor to see
the current annual consumption figure on the screen
3. Use the 'up' and 'down' buttons to set your annual energy
consumption (kWh)
4. Press the 'settings' button firmly to confirm. If you do not press the Press the 'mode' button firmly to confirm. If you do not press the
'mode' button, then the changed value will not be saved 'settings' button, then the changed value will not be saved
