In modes 6, 7 & 18 there is an extra safety step to avoid accidentally erasing important data
Changing your Settings
Some modes, such as manually setting clock and date or setting
variable charging rates for electricity, require several steps.
Time & date. To set the clock manually press the Top Button (TB)
for 5 seconds until the display shows “Time+Date”, then press S (to
select). Using the lower keys press < or > to set the hour & press S
to select. Then the minutes will blink, use the < & > keys to adjust &
press S to select. Use the same procedure until the time and date
are completely set when the display will show “DONE” & the
default display sequence will commence. Once they have been set,
the time & date are normally adjusted automatically by a radio
signal between 1am & 4am every night, when the atomic clock
radio signals are strongest, & a permanent icon will show
Once a correct date has been set, if the date is subsequently incorrectly set to
an earlier date the bar graph will reset to the default format of 28 days
followed by 2 “blank” days, and all recorded data will be erased. It will then
take 30 days for the bar graph to be truly representative, & each new day
appears from the right. When resetting the date the display will show
“SURE?” in the sequence to warn you the bar graph may be reset to an earlier
date. To accept press “S” in the normal way. If reset to a later date the bar
chart will reset to default and no other data will be lost. When changing
batteries (seldom) the time resets to nearest hour & will reset automatically or
can be manually re-set.
Time & date
default
settings
vary
according to
the country
supplied
This sets the format of the day & date to your choice. Either
day/month/year , month/day/year or year/month/day
Rates & times. Electricity charging rates vary between
suppliers, and may change at different times of the day. Check
recent electricity bill or contact your supplier for the precise
times and rates you are being charged and set your Saveometer
accordingly. Each day may be split in up to 4 periods, shown as
A, B, C & D on the display when in mode 4. For each period you
must select a start time & charging rate. If you only pay a single
rate for your electricity simply set your rate for period A and then
scroll through B, C & D using the S key & the Saveometer will
automatically input the same rate to periods B, C & D. If paying 2
or 3 rates per day, set start times & rates for the periods you
require & scroll through unwanted zones using the S key. The
Saveometer will automatically recognise how many time zones
per day you wish to apply.
