Inserting/changing
the battery
If the battery symbol appears in the display
7
,
the inserted battery is almost drained and must be
replaced. Empty batteries can falsify the measured
result.
To insert the battery proceed as follows:
Open the battery compartment cover on the
back of the device. You can remove the used
battery more easily with the aid of the material
strip, which is inside the battery compartment
6. Just pull on the material strip.
Remove the used battery.
Plug the contacts of the 9V-blockbattery on
the contacts of the profiled plug. Make sure
you fit the batteries the right way round. This
is specified by the profiled shape of the con-
tacts. Also ensure without fail that the material
strip is underneath the battery.
Insert the battery in the battery compartment
and close the cover again, so that it audibly
latches into place.
Start-up
Before you take a
measurement
Ensure that both measuring pins 2touch the
surface of the material at the same time.
Increase the pressure on the measuring pins
for rough surfaces if necessary.
For delicate surfaces complete the measure-
ment on a section that is not in the visible
area.

11GB
Note: The measuring pins are sharp and
may dent or damage the surface.
Rub the damp residue on the surface before
taking the measurement.
Measure several places and take an average
value.
Be aware that salts can increase the conduc-
tivity of water. This can lead to incorrect
readings and results that are too high.
Remove the bark from firewood if needed.
Press the measuring pins against the grain in
various places on the wood.
Taking a measurement
Press the button 5to switch on the
moisture measuring device. On the display 7
‚0.0%‘, the surrounding temperature in °C
and the previously selected material (1–6)
appears.
Press the button 4and hold it down for
approximately 5 seconds to switch the tem-
perature display between °C and °F.
If the display does not show ‚0.0 %‘ after
switching it on, you can calibrate the device.
Do this as follows:
Open the battery compartment 6, remove
the batteries and press the RESET button with
a pointed object, this button is on the bottom
of the device in the middle.
Press the MODE button 3again to set the
moisture measuring device to the material
you wish to measure.

ment range, the display shows ‚0.0%‘ or
‚Lo‘. For measurements above the measure-
ment range, the display shows ‚Hi‘.
Remove the protective cap 1.

surface at the same time. After 1-2 seconds
you can read the percentage value.
If you are taking a measurement in an area in
which you cannot read the display, press the
button to freeze the result on the display. The
