Introducon
Congratulaons on the purchase of our new Power
Meter with large LCD, yellow backlight and high
accuracy.
This device helps to determine the energy cost
of connected electrical devices. We hope you
are able to minimise your power costs as a result!
Product Descripon
This Power Meter supplies you with data on
the power consumpon of connected electrical
devices. With the push of a buon, you can
quickly and easily see the power measurements.
Measurements such as Voltage, Amperage,
Power, Frequency, Power Factor and Overload
values are displayed. You can also enter your
electricity rate and then display the actual costs.
Displaying the equivalent CO2 emission in kg
also provides you with addional ecological
informaon. The monitor also shows you the
total consumpon over a measurement period
of up to seven months and the corresponding
operang me.

Notes on the baery
The Power Meter is loaded with 2 type LR44
and/or AG13 baeries (buon cells – these bat-
teries are included in the product contents).
Explanaon of symbols
Supervise children and keep the device out of
their reach to ensure that they do not play with
it. Improper use means there is a risk of electro-
cuon!
Never aempt to recharge the baeries.
Do not throw the baeries into fire, do not
short-circuit or disassemble them! There is a risk
of explosion!
Keep baeries away from children. If a baery
is ingested, immediately contact a physician.
Promptly remove empty baeries from the
device! Increased risk of leakage!
Do not expose baeries to extreme condions,
e.g. radiators or direct sunlight! There is an
Only use the baery type specified
here to aviod risks associated with
fire and explosion.

10
You can find the following symbols on the device
and/or in the operang instrucons:
increased risk of leakage!
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous
membranes. In the event of contact with baery
acid,immediately flush the affected areas with
plenty of clean water and immediately contact
a physician.
Only insert baeries of the same type, do not
use different types of baeries or combine used
a new baeries with one another.
Always replace both baeries at the same me.
If needed, clean the baeries and device contacts
before inserng them.
Follow the safety notes.
Only use in enclosed spaces.

Using the device for the first me
When the device is delivered, the baeries are
already inserted. Acvate them by removing
the insulaon strips in the baery compartment
To open the baery compartment, proceed as
described in the following secon.
Changing the baeries
1. Pull the device out of the socket.
2. Push the two side catch springs of the baery
compartment together at the same me and
pull the baery compartment out of the device.

12
3. Remove the empty baeries and dispose
them of at a collecon point for old baeries.
4. Insert 2 new baeries (1.5 V buon cells, type
LR44/AG13) in the baery compartment.
When inserng the baeries, make sure that
the polarity (+/-) is correct as shown in above
photo, Posive(+) is in outside.
5. Insert the baery compartment with the two
contact springs in the device slots and push
it unl it locks into place.

13
The baery compartment can only be inserted
in the device in one direcon.
The baery compartment must be completely
inserted before reacvang the device.
If you do not use the device for a prolonged
period of me, take the baeries out of the
device to prevent them from becoming empty
prematurely.

Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)
The producon of energy releases greenhouse
gases (among others carbon dioxide CO2),
which places a burden on the environment.
With this device, you are able to determine how
much CO2 is released by an energy supplier
