2.3.1 Measuring Menu (main menu)
After switching on, the device is in the Measuring Menu (main
menu). The other menus can be accessed from here by pressing
the "Up" or "Down" buttons.
In the Measuring Menu, the last measured values are displayed
according to the measuring mode selection made with the
associated units and the note "Hold".
Pressing and holding the "M" button (> 2 seconds) starts a new
measurement, the measured values adapt to the ambient
climate. During the measuring process, the "Hold" symbol
disappears from the display. After releasing the "M" button, the
measured value is held and automatically stored in the ring
memory. This overwrites the oldest stored value. The "Hold"
symbol is displayed again.
If the new measured value is larger than the previous maximum
value, "Max" flashes on the display. If the new value should be
accepted, the "M" button must be pressed briefly (< 1 second). If
the value should not be saved, a new measurement can be
started by pressing and holding (> 2 seconds) the "M" button
without changing the previous maximum value.
If the new measured value is smaller than the previous minimum
value, "Min" flashes on the display. If the new value should be
accepted, the "M" button must be pressed briefly (< 1 second). If
the value should not be saved, a new measurement can be
started by pressing and holding (> 2 seconds) the "M" button
without changing the previous minimum value.
