This type of meter has dials and a spinning disk.
Note – If your meter has dials, but the spinning disk is not visible from the front of the meter, call the Black & Decker Help Line at
If this is your meter type, proceed to the next page.
Optical Port
TYPE 2—Electronic with optical port on the face
The optical port looks like an LED, and may appear anywhere on the face. Some meters have two ports.
If this is your meter type, proceed to page 10 .
