aclara sgm 1422-b smart meter

IIRC you can hold the button to go back up a level - usually B, but it might be A

If I’m pressing the B button: 

Total Act Import kwh -2

Total act export kwh -2

local date

R1BL1 kwh

Engineering menu

Scottish Power

Meter signal strength

Makes me feel as if SP has messed with configs...

There is no exit option - it just moves to the start of the next menu.

When you’ve pressed button B, pressing button A takes you through options in that menu sequence . If your required item doesn’t show, press button B again then press button A repeatedly to read through its options 

Blastoise186 - Thank you so much for your help and support.  

While I’m thinking and trying not to make things worse (with brainless button pushing), I Also wrote an email to the Aclara support team. There’s nothing to lose.

BPLightlog : What should I do? 

TIA

If you go back to the list Firedog showed, button B switches to a certain menu. At this point pressing button A repeatedly will show the options in that specific menu.

If the reading/item you want isn’t there, press button B and then press button A repeatedly to see its options. 
Continue until you find your item

Note: if you see a menu regarding a PIN or Engineering menu, just move on to the next menu - do not press button A in that situation 

You can’t really do any harm unless you press and hold a button if it’s indicated that this will present an option to change something. If you get stuck somewhere, just wait a few moments. The display will eventually revert to its default state, so you can start hunting again.
  

The SP customer service is the most useless in the entire world.

Received message from the Aclara company (promptly and accurate) “There is a chance that when you navigated away, you activated by accident the Privacy Pin (Privacy Pin Enabled). If this is the case, the prepayment menu is no longer available for you and won’t be able to find it. I’m a bit worried that this might be the case because the meter is set up to go to the main display after 30 sec, if you don’t press any buttons. I’m not sure if this is happening for your meter. If you try to navigate through alternating buttons B and A and you still cannot find the meter balance, then I’m afraid that you need to contact SP in order to resolve the issue for you.”
