Essential settings
Your Solo II will start to show you your energy consumption as
soon as it is installed. To get the most out of your display, enter
your current electricity tari and set a budget.
Set a budget
Your Solo II can indicate if you are using more or less energy -
and hence cost - than you have budgeted for. A green g means
the display predicts you will be under budget and a red cross h
the opposite, based on previous usage patterns.
To set a budget:
• Press and hold b until [BASIC] is shown;
• Press b repeatedly until you see BUDGET;
• Use a and c to select from DAY, MTH (month) and YR (year)
for how you plan to budget and then press b to set;
• Finally use a and c once more to set the budget and
press b when you have nished.
Your Solo II will now show you your performance against the
budget and start to learn your energy usage patterns.
Enter your tari
Do you know what your electricity tari is? Is there a standing
charge and are certain times of the day priced dierently? You
may need to speak to your utility or check a recent bill to nd
the answers to these questions before you set up your Solo II.
To congure your tari:
• Press and hold b until [BASIC] shows;
• Press b until you see TARIFF1 and a number ashing;
• Use a and c to change the tari and then press b to set.
• If you have a tari that changes during the day (known as
a ‘time of use’ tari), then you can set the start and end
times of two further taris. Use a and c to change the
times and the rate.
Once your tari has been entered in to your Solo II it will start
to show you how much your energy has cost. Refer to the
online user manual for further details on setting up taris.

Troubleshooting
My display is not showing any information
This could be because your display is out of range and is not

problems persist, please refer to our website.
