Find your meter's Power Factor on the face of the meter. Look for a number preceded
by the letters Kh. This number is usually 7.2 for an electromechanical meter. Write this
number in the box below. You will need it later (in section 06) when you program your
Digital Display.

STATUS Indicator is flashing).

Extend the Sensor Arm to its full length by
pulling on it gently, but firmly. If you
accidentally pull it out completely, push it
