P4400 Kill A Watt TM

Operation Manual

How to use the Kill-A-Watt meter:

a. Plug the meter into an electrical outlet
b. Plug device (computer, ipod, hair dryer) into meter

c. Manage the energy you measure (reduce, power down, or upgrade to energy efficient appliances)

Definitions:

kilo watt hour (kwh) = electricity consumed
watt = electricity demand or rate at which electricty is consumed
cost = number of kwh x cost per kwh (see your hydro bill for current utility rate)
