What does a smart meter look like?

This is a photo of a Smart Meter on Kauai. If your meter says FOCUS, it is a smart meter. BEWARE: many people who sent in deferral forms before the smart meter roll out began have discovered there has been a "mistake" and they received a smart meter anyway.

Until Monday, September 30, 2013, it is FREE to change your Smart Meter for a Safe Meter. (If you are concerned about your health you can also get a high emitting digital meter changed to an analog meter.) For your health, your neighbor's health, your privacy, your safety, the safety of our bee population and environment, the safety of our electrical grid, check to be certain you have a SAFE electrical meter.

Only a true analog meter (no hidden antenna - yes, KIUC has installed analog meters with antennas) emits no pulsed microwaves and produces no disease causing dirty electricity.

For more information about obtaining a safe meter for free or to download a deferral form, go to this page. Please be aware we have received numerous reports of people being given misinformation by KIUC employees in an attempt to dissuade them from getting a safe meter. Do not be misled.

At Planet Oasis we will continue to list new free island showings of the superb new documentary film: Take Back Your Power. For a small fee you can download the film from our website and view from your computer.

For your safety when you send in your deferral form or call KIUC to request a meter change, MAKE CERTAIN TO SPECIFY A NON-RF EMITTING ANALOG METER. If you do not request a non RF emitting meter, you will be given a high RF emitting, high dirty electricity emitting digital meter in place of your smart meter. These meters emit microwave pulses in resonance with the surrounding smart grid. They are often either easily upgradable to a smart meter, or already a smart meter.

If you have digital meter we suggest you take down the manufacturer and model number and look up the product manual online to see what the capabilities of your meter are. Does it have wireless connectivity? Does it use a switching mode power supply (producer of dirty electricity)? Look for red flag phrases like "mesh network", "fixed network 2.0", "Silver Springs Network", etc.? If you see any of these terms it is highly likely that you are looking at a smart meter under a different guise.

Anyone able to make a wiki for island meters to make it easy for people to look this information up? Please contact us if you can help
