Follow these instructions to set up your EcoPort

Step 2: Remove EcoPort cover plate & install EcoPort module, gently tightening the screws provided. The EcoPort location may differ between water heater models. Reference water heater manual if needed.
Step 3: Turn the power back on.
Step 4: Using your phone or laptop, open Wi-Fi dialogue to view list of available networks. Connect to the EcoPort’s Wi-Fi network. Network name will match the code printed on the front of the EcoPort module.
