Congratulations on getting an EMU-2™, the easiest way to get access to your smart

meter energy information. This simple device tracks your energy usage for you, and

makes you aware of your consumption – while it is happening. Just like your watch

makes you aware of the time, and helps you stay on schedule, your EMU-2™ will help

you know when to take action to lower your utility bills and save energy.

Your EMU-2™ is normally plugged into its AC Adapter, but it can also be powered by

standard AAA batteries for short periods of time. This allows you to take your EMU-2™

with you and see the results on-the-spot when major appliances are turned on or off.

Most of the time, your EMU-2™ will be in Rest Mode.

backlight will be off, but the Display can still be read. To put the unit into Active Mode,

simply press one of the buttons, and the backlight will come back on. After 4 minutes of

inactivity, your EMU-2™ will automatically return to Rest Mode.

If you unplug your EMU-2™, so that it is powered only by the backup batteries, then the

unit will run with the backlight off all the time, and will go into Sleep Mode after 2

minutes of inactivity. In Sleep Mode, the Display and the Indicator LED Lights will be

off, but the EMU-2™ will communicate occasionally with the smart meter. Pressing one

of the buttons will wake the unit up, and the Display will come back on. Note that your

EMU-2™ is intended to be used with the AC Adapter plugged in; the batteries are not

intended to last for long periods of time.

Your EMU-2™ has two buttons that are used to make selections. By default, they are

used to scroll through the different Display screens. The Top Button pages up, and the

Bottom Button pages down. The screens are displayed in a circular sequence. Once

you cycle through to the end of the sequence, the first screen is displayed again.
