OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

POWERING ON & OFF
To power on the meter, press the ON/OFF HOLD button. By default, the instrument will
immediately begin making and displaying RH (relative humidity) measurements.
Before using the meter to make measurements, remove the dust cap protecting the
humidity/temperature sensor.
To power off the meter, press and hold the ON/OFF HOLD button for at least 2 seconds. The
shutdown will be announced by two short beeps.
After powering off the meter, replace the sensor protection cap if you do not expect to use the
instrument within the next few hours.
By default, the meter will automatically power itself off if no front-panel button is pressed within
any 30-minute period. The upcoming shutdown will be announced by three beeps of the beeper.
When this Auto Power Off function is active, the term APO will appear at the bottom left of the
LCD (see Fig. 2).
To disable the APO function, you must power on the meter in a special way, by pressing and
holding the ZERO button while pressing the ON/OFF HOLD button. When the APO function has
been disabled, the term APO will not appear on the LCD.
