All he needs to do is press the blue button. It'll cycle through, and he'll eventually see his balance. Doesn't even need to shove his key in.Phnom_Penh said:Looking at the picture, the instructions he wants don't seem to be there .
It cycles threw a lot of numbers, but im not sure which one is my balance, im hoping its not the one thats just simply 5, cause that means i only have 5p left.basmic said:All he needs to do is press the blue button.

I believe that's the total amount put on the meter, since it was installed. I could be wrong.willd58 said:right, here goes
on the first cycle, the first number says =E 248.01
That sounds like it's the total amount on your meter, after inserting the key.willd58 said:a press of the button changes it
the word "rate 1" is highlighted along with "accepted" with the number -E6.16
That's your supplier's rates. Are you sure the total charge per week isn't 8p/day?willd58 said:another press changes it to
total charge per week = E 0.080
then it displays 8000000 or so KWph or somthing
What gets me, is it isn't showing how much you have for emergency. Most key meters give you £1/£5 emergency - so if you forget to top-up your key, just bang on some emergency credit to tide you over.willd58 said:then it goes to rate 2 which = 0 on every screen
A final number is E- -E0.005
Then it displays total debt = 0.00000
I am completely confused, anyone got any idea's?
Edit: im guna call my landlady's tommorow and see if they know, ill also call the electricity company, im just wondering if i can figure it out tonight.

I moved house and found that it had a pre-pay meter. Thought nothing off it, until I realised one day that I was spending rather a lot. Gave my supplier a ring and found out that I was paying twice the market rate, as the previous owners had run up a huge bill. So they installed a pre-pay meter with and inflated rate to recover the debt over time. The gits I bought the house from never bothered to tell me, nor did the electricity company when I contacted them on moving in!
