adapter mode is selected (USE STANDARD/SMALL ADAPTER, see 'Settings and
information menu /Adapter).
Press the button once again to start operation. Wait for 3 seconds' countdown
combined with three short tones before skin contact, which is indicated by a long tone
and a message ONTO SKIN. Make sure that the measurement chamber is not close to
the skin or other sources of humidity before skin contact.

pressure. Hold the VapoMeter steady during the measurement. The measurement
takes from 5 to 16 seconds with the standard adapter and from 9 to 32 seconds with
the small adapter. The measurement time is automatically controlled and the progress

level 10 g/m²h the measurement time is 10 seconds with the standard adapter and 20
seconds with the small adapter.
