Operating Instructions

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the meter ON or OFF.
Unit of Measure Selection (Temperature)
When the meter is powered on press the °C/°F button to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Note: The default unit of measure is Celsius (°C). The meter will automatically save the last selected unit of measure when turned off.
Data Hold
Press the HOLD button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press the button again to resume normal operation.
Note: When the Data Hold function is enabled the REL, MAX/MIN, and °C/°F buttons are disabled.
Relative Function
Press the REL button to store the current measurement. The meter will display the difference between any new measurement and the stored measurement. Press the REL button again to exit Relative Function mode and resume normal operation.
MAX/MIN Function

Press the MAX/MIN button to access Maximum and Minimum modes.
When pressing the MAX/MIN button once, the MAX Indicator will appear on the display. The maximum temperature and maximum humidity values are displayed and will automatically update when new maximum data values are measured.
Press the MAX/MIN button again and the MIN indicator appears on the display. The minimum temperature and minimum humidity values are displayed and will automatically update when new minimum data values are measured.
Press the MAX/MIN button a third time and both the MAX and MIN indicators will blink continuously. The Maximum & Minimum values will automatically update in the Max/Min memory while the current temperature and humidity measurements are displayed. To view the Max/Min measurements during this mode press the MAX/MIN button at any time to toggle through stored measurements.
To exit MAX/MIN mode and resume normal operation, press and hold the MAX/MIN button for two seconds.
Note: When in MAX/MIN mode, the REL and °C/°F buttons are disabled.

Auto Power Off
To preserve battery life, the meter is programmed to turn itself off after 30 minutes of inactivity. To disable this feature, press and hold the HOLD button while powering on the meter. When the meter turns on, release both buttons simultaneously. The Auto Power Off indicator will not appear on the display, confirming this feature is now disabled. If the meter is turned off then back on, the “Auto Power Off” feature will be enabled again.
Humidity Calibration Procedure
In order to calibrate the meter humidity calibration standards are required (REED R9933, R9975 or R9980). If the meter has been exposed to extreme conditions or it has not been used in a long period of time the meter should be calibrated by following steps 1 through 7 below.

While the meter is off, press the HOLD, °C/°F, and POWER buttons simultaneously and release.
When the LCD flashes, press the REL button to enter calibration mode. This will be indicated by “CAL 1” on the LCD.
Insert the tip of the meter into the 33%RH Humidity Calibration Standard (REED R9933) and press the MAX/MIN button once the reading has stabilized which may take up to 10 minutes.
The calibration adjustment will be confirmed by a long beep.
The meter will then display “CAL 2” to calibrate the second calibration point (75%). Insert the tip of the meter into the 75%RH Humidity Calibration Standard (REED R9975) and press the MAX/MIN button once the reading has stabilized which may take up to 10 minutes. Disregard the actual final reading on the meter once it has stabilized before pressing the MIN/MAX button.
The calibration adjustment will be confirmed by a long beep.
After both calibrations are complete, the meter will resume normal operation.

Note: The calibration steps can be cancelled at any point by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Restoring Factory Settings

Turn the meter off.
Press the HOLD, °C/°F, and POWER button simultaneously, then release.
When the LCD flashes, press the MAX/MIN button to restore factory default settings.
A long beep will confirm factory settings have been restored. The meter will then resume normal operation.

Battery Replacement

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, the battery should be replaced. Remove the battery cover on the back and insert a new 9V battery.
