- Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
- Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or dampness.
- Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
- Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurement (important for exact measurements).
- Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator “ ” appears. With a low battery, the meter might produce false reading that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.
- Fetch out the battery when the meter will not be used for long period.
- Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

Operating Instruction
- Press the “ON” button to turn on the unit.
- Select the desired measurement function:
Select the measurement function with the option key (3) on the device’s side.
The three possible measurement functions are:
% R.H. (Relative Humidity)|
---|---
°C Temperature Measurement|
°F Temperature Measurement|
After the desired measurement function is selected, the device automatically switches from the selection mode to measuring mode and you can start your measurements.
Performing Measurement
General:
-
Temperature measurement:
The display shows the air temperature in °C/°F. -
Humidity measurement:
The display shows the relative humidity in %RH.
Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor at room or ambient air. -
To “freeze” the current reading press the “HOLD” – button.
The display stops updating the measured values and the “HOLD” – symbol appears.
Automatic Power Off:
If the device is no longer used, it will automatically turn off after 10
minutes.
Back light:
This unit features an automatic back light, which activates the back light
when the light sensor on the front panel detects low light conditions.
Battery Replacement
If the sign appears on the LCD display, it indicates that the battery should be replaced.
Remove the back cover and open the battery compartment.
