Configuring your display
Before you start using your Solo II we need to
take you through a few simple set-up steps.
The Solo II has two sets of configuration –
[BASIC] configuration items that you may
wish to change often, and [ADVANCED]
configuration items that you may only set
up once or alter occasionally.
Basic configuration
Press and hold the centre button for three
seconds to enter configuration mode then
press
and
to choose [BASIC] mode
and press the centre button to select
[BASIC] settings.
You will be asked to set the following:
•
[SET TIME]

Budget
You can set yourself a daily, weekly or
monthly personal budget which the
display will use to help you manage your
electricity. The display can then tell you
whether you're on target to be within your
budget, and how you've compared over
the past few days, weeks or months.
You can enter your budget as a daily,
weekly or monthly figure. Whichever
you enter the Solo II will automatically
calculate for the other two. i.e. if you
enter a daily budget the Solo II will know
what that means for the week and the
month and so on.
You can get an idea of what to set as your
budget in one of the following ways:
1. If
you
pay
debit, enter that figure into your
monthly budget
2. If you pay quarterly by direct debit,
divide that by three and enter that
into monthly budget (or twelve and
into the weekly budget etc.)
3. Look at your recent bills (and the
period they cover) and work out an
average of how much you've been
paying each month then enter that
into the monthly budget
If you have a standing charge remember
to include this in your budget.
Use the
and
buttons to select whether
you want a daily, weekly or monthly budget,
then press the centre button to confirm.
Next adjust the value of budget you would
like using the
and
the centre button to confirm.
