Once the calibrationmode in ON, the
meter will searchthe right humidity
value according tothe current temp-
erature to getmore accurate calibra-
tion.
Before checking thehumidity 33% or
75% , makesure you purchasedmodel
8709 and saltsolution 33% (dark
brown bottle) ,75% ( bluebottle ) as
well as thecarry case, ifyou purchased
model 8708 ,it is themodel not avail-
able for checkingor re-calibration .

1.1. CHECK HUMIDITY 33%
1.1.1. Turn on the meter. Plug unit
in 33% saltreference bottle and
put unit intothe carrying caseas
shown FIG2. Checkthe reading
on LCD after40 minutes. Ifthe

(8709 only)

When the calibrationfor 33% is
done, you willsee a "MIN " and
"MAX" display onthe LCD screen.
Please remove themeter probe
from the 33%salt bottle andplug
it into the75% salt bottle.
Then press theMIN/MAX button,
you will seea "% MAX" display
on the LCD. Then leave themeter

minutes. When thecalibration for
75% is completed,the meter will
be back tonormal measuring
mode for temperatureand humidity.
You can then removethe meter
from the 75%bottle.
