How to enable export meter display on a Smart Meter remote display (L&G E470, T5242

Earlier this year I had a solar PV and Battery installed, which has a secondary meter for the solar system (relatively easy to read in the supply cupboard..).

However my supplier and SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) provider (Scottish Gas both) are reading the original smart meter for the import and export readings.

The main meter is a Landis & Gyr E470 Type 5242, and the remote display is a little Chameleon Technology (UK) Ltd 2021,  IHD3-PPMID-V3 / CA3070023  type 1 unit.

I'm looking to find a way of having the remote display actually show the meter reading for the export MPAN, rather than have the rigmarole of standing on a chair and trying to video the L&G meter in a worse positioned cabinet while pressing button A & B in fancy patterns to scroll through all the displays for later review on a big screen!

Did these units actually allow the display of the export meter readings, and how to enable their display?

    (At the moment I can keep an eye on things using a home built version of the open energy monitor, but it would be useful to be able to see at a glance how much is currently being exported.)
