or the
button to turn the display off. Even when the Kestrel's display is turned
off, the unit will continue to automatically store data at the defined Store Rate. Wind speed will NOT
be stored when the unit is off. To continuously measure wind speed, turn the auto shutdown off,
and see page 8 for more information on how this data is stored. The battery life will be decreased
if data is stored frequently. The only way to completely shut off the unit is to remove the batteries.
Custom settings and data will be stored when the batteries are removed.

System - The display Contrast and Auto Shutdown can be reconfigured as required. The relative
humidity and pressure sensors can also be recalibrated. Press the
appropriate selection, and the
or
button to adjust or select.
The Contrast can be adjusted for better visibility depending on the ambient lighting conditions.
Press the or button to increase or decrease the contrast from 0 to 20 (0 is lightest, 20 is darkest).
The display can be set to automatically turn off in order to conserve the battery life. Auto Shutdown
will only occur after the preset time has elapsed without any button presses. Press the or button
to scroll through the Auto Shutdown options (15 minutes, 60 minutes, Off).
Baro Cal - The pressure sensor can be calibrated if necessary. It is extremely important to know the
precise altitude and mean sea level barometric pressure at the time of calibrating the sensor. First,
set the reference altitude on the BARO measurement screen to the known altitude (see Pressure
Adjustment on page 9). Then adjust the calibrating setting on the Baro Cal screen to the known
mean sea level barometric pressure. Recalibration of this sensor is not typically required, and it is not
recommended that you recalibrate without speaking to an NK technician.

Humidity Cal - The humidity sensor can be calibrated by "teaching" it the correct humidity. Some
special equipment is required for this calibration, including two hermetically sealed containers and
saturated salt solutions. NK offers a calibration kit, and instructions are available on www.nkhome.com.
Recalibration of this sensor is not typically required, and it is not recommended that you recalibrate without
speaking to an NK technician.
