EASY STEPS:
STEP 1: REGISTER WITH YOUR UTILITY
You will need to provide your MAC Address and Install Code from
the Information Label on the back of your EMU-2™. It may take
some time for your utility to enable your meter to connect to your
device. It is important to wait until this is complete before
proceeding to the next step.
STEP 2: PLUG IN YOUR EMU-2™
Plug the AC Adapter into a power outlet,
and plug the other end of the cord into
your EMU-2™.
STEP 3: WAIT FOR EMU-2™ TO JOIN THE METER
Once powered up, the unit will attempt to connect to the meter.
You will initially see dashes on the screen. The EMU-2™ is ready
to use once the Current Time screen appears with the time and
date displayed

Batteries may also be used as a source
of short-term alternative power, but the
batteries are not intended to be the primary source of power,
and may only last a few days of continuous use. If using battery
power, ensure that only alkaline batteries are used.
Note that batteries do not recharge when the unit is plugged in.
Also note that putting a battery in backwards can be hazardous,
and may cause extensive damage to your EMU-2™.
