Getting started with G6

The G6 is a simple to use device that consists of:

Home screen: Provides the user with useful information such as current
credit status and whether the energy supply is on/off. After a period, the G6
screen will return to a screensaver which is the Switch2 logo (generally).

Buttons: Allows you to interact with the G6 to cycle through menu screens,
activate the emergency credit (in pay-as-you-go mode) or clear messages.

Signal indicator: When the green light is on, this shows that the unit is online.

Payment card: If the G6 is running in pay-as-you-go mode then a card is
provided allowing you to buy credit to top-up your G6.
