3. When the connection is successful the Bluetooth® status indicator remains blue and the current readings are automatically displayed in the App.

REED Smart Series meters feature Bluetooth® 5.0 connectivity which does not require meters to be paired with the device. If the App is open and the meter is powered on, a connection will automatically be established.

Selecting the Temperature and Air Velocity Unit of Measure

1. When the meter is powered on, press and hold the POWER button until SET appears, indicating the meter is in a unit of measure selection mode.
2. To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius press the POWER button again. Once the desired temperature unit of measure is selected, press and hold the POWER button again to enter the air velocity unit of measure mode.
3. To toggle between m/s, ft/min, km/h, and MPH press the POWER button again. Once the desired air velocity unit of measure is selected, press and hold the POWER button again to resume normal operation.

Enabling/Disabling Data Hold

1. Press the HOLD button to freeze the current reading on the display.
2. Press the button again to resume normal operation.

Toggling between Relative Humidity and Air Velocity Mode
The LCD will always display the temperature on the primary line. The secondary line can display relative humidity or air velocity. Press the POWER button twice to toggle between relative humidity and air velocity.

Enabling/Disabling Auto Power OFF
To preserve battery life, the meter is programmed to turn itself off after 30 minutes of inactivity.

Note:
The Auto Power OFF feature can be disabled through the App. (See REED Smart Series Software Guide located in the “Menu” section of the App for additional details.)
