If the electronic digital meter shows one screen with one meter read on it, or has many screens showing many different pieces of information:

  • Press the (usually) blue button to cycle through the screens

  • Different electronic meters go through the information in different orders. Letters or numbers will come up on the display to show which rate the reading is for. Look for

    • R1 or R2

    • 1 or 2

    • L or N

  • Read the meter by including all numbers from the left to the right, including zeros

  • Exclude any numbers after the decimal points
