4-1 Power supply from the generator
( Green power supply )
1)
Select the " Power type switch " ( 3-11, Fig. 1 ) to
the " G position " ( Green power position ).
There is a " Power generator's handle " ( 3-10, Fig. 1 )
on the bottom of the housing case.
LCD display
Power generator's handle
2)Lift and extend the " Power generator's handle "
and rotate the handle in clockwise direction will
generate the power energy into the meter, refer
to Fig. a, b, c.

to 20 minutes energy typically. If wind-up the generator
more time, the meter will be saved more energy and
let the meter be operated for a long period.
