However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. www.rainforestautomation.com EMU™ Quick Start Step 1: Check Contents of the box The box should contain the following items: a) 1 x EMU™ Display unit b) 4 x AA Batteries Step 2: Register your EMU™ In order for your EMU™ to connect to the smart meter, you will need to register your EMU™ with your utility. Please follow the procedure provided by your utility. You will need the following information, which is found on the Information Label on the back of your EMU™: Note that it may take some time for your utility to enable the smart meter to connect with your EMU™. You should be advised by your utility how long this will take. Step 3: Assemble your EMU™ a. Open the battery cover on the back of your EMU™ by pushing down on the catch at top of the door. b. Insert 4 AA batteries exactly as shown on inside of the battery compartment. Note that putting a battery in backwards can be hazardous, and may cause extensive damage to the EMU™. Always use alkaline batteries; never mix battery types. Replace all batteries at the same time. c. Replace the battery cover by inserting the bottom tabs first, then snapping the catch closed. Step 4: Wait for the EMU™ to join the smart meter The EMU™ will attempt to connect to the smart meter. This could take 1-2 minutes. When the EMU™ finds the smart meter and successfully communicates with it, you will see a meter reading on the Display screen. MAC ID Information Label Install Code
