or "°F" as selected.

NOTE: For accurate relative humidity measurements the meter should be allowed
several minutes to adjust to ambient temperature changes.

meter will begin tracking the highest (MAX), lowest (MIN), and average (AVG)
readings.

Measurement Considerations

1. The meter includes an Auto Power OFF feature that turns the instrument off after
approximately 10 minutes of inactivity. To disable this feature, press the RECORD key
to enable the MIN/MAX/AVG function.
2. It may be necessary to adjust the display contrast due to a change in viewing angle or
voltage drift. Use the LCD contrast adjustment located on the right side of the meter.
