2. LOGIN Password (operator) allows users to access and modify all of the parameters, except "Access Control" which requires an Administrator password.

4.3.1 Power Up Meter
For instructions on how to power the Meter, refer to Section 2.1.5.
To verify that an End Device is working before deploying remotely, install the battery and power it on right next to the Meter. When the End Device is powered on, the green LED (TX) will blink periodically. This indicates the End Device is broadcasting its data to the Meter on channel 12 defined by IEEE 802.15.4. The LED will blink only when the End Device sends data to the Meter. If the Meter is not powered on, or it’s out of reach, the End Device will not receive the acknowledgment packet from the Meter and therfore to save battery power it will go to sleep.
The sleeping period can be defined by the users via the USB port (PC Configuration software) on the End Device. The End Device sends new data for a short period of time after every sleep period is over, until it can establish the connection back with the Meter.
When there are two End Devices with the same Device ID/address, both will be transmitting data every sampling period with their LEDs blinking. The Meter will receive data from both End Devices and will display their data alternately. To avoid this, turn the End Device on one by one and verify that the Meter is displaying the correct data.
