Getting Started

1. Installing the Batteries
Insert (6) AAA batteries as indicated by the diagram located on the inside of
the battery compartment.
2. Extending the Probe
To extend the probe, hold the handle in one hand while pulling on the probe
tip with the other hand. Do not hold the cable while extending the probe as
this prevents the probe from extending.
3. Using the Snake Telescoping Probe
The snake telescoping probe contains the air velocity sensor. When using the
probe, remove the sensor protection cap then rotate or bend the snake tube,
make sure the sensor window is fully exposed and the orientation is facing
upstream.
� If in the right direction, the user will see the red-ink marking shown in Figure 1.
