    Make a note of both the rate 1 and rate 2 readings, boil a kettle and then read them again. Which rate has increased?

    on my LCD the number 1 is flashing, this indicates the current tariff that is being used @12pm.

    No 1 = day
    No 4 = night

    You'll also see the time (E7 rates kick in at certain times, so it's wise to check this is about right or adjust your timers accordingly), date and a 'total' which will add the night and day together :)
