SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALL BATTERY

To open the battery compartment, turn the meter over and lift
the tab on the bottom of the battery compartment cover.
Remove the cover and set it aside. Then plug the included
9V battery into the wired socket inside the compartment. The
terminals of the battery and the socket mate in only one way,
with the smaller male terminal plugging into the larger female
terminal. Close the battery compartment by replacing its
cover and snapping it shut.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To power on the meter, press the button and hold it for at
least three seconds. (To power off the meter, follow the same
instruction.)
To measure the moisture level of wood or building material,
first make sure that the correct icon appears on the left side
of the display. If it does not, press the button briefly to
toggle between wood and building material. Then scan the
material by gently pressing the square sensing area on the
upper back of the meter against it. The display will instantly
your material's moisture content.
Each measurement is also accompanied by a display of one,
two or three droplet icons ( ) at its left, indicating whether
the reading is low, medium or high for the material. The
moisture-level range for each category is different for wood
and building material; see the Specifications section for the
exact percentages.
