Abstract:
Example meters disclosed herein include a prompting indicator to emit a prompt for user input. Disclosed example meters also include a controller to determine whether the meter is to transition to a first prompting mode, or whether the meter is to transition to a second prompting mode different from the first prompting mode, the meter to be able to operate in at least a quiet mode, the first prompting mode or the second prompting mode. The controller is also to activate the prompting indicator and a light projector when the meter is to transition to the second prompting mode, the light projector to project light. The controller is further to activate the prompting indicator, but not activate the light projector, when the meter is to transition to the first prompting mode.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the time period is a first time period, and the activating of the light projector includes:\n activating the light projector to project light according to a first projection configuration when the meter is to transition to the second prompting mode; determining whether a second time period has expired, the second time period beginning after the light projector has been activated; and controlling the light projector to project light according to a second projection configuration different from the first projection configuration in response to expiration of the second time period.
