To establish a connection, first switch on the meter.

Note: Do not establish a connection via the system setting but only via the app.
5.1 Making a measurement
Once a connection has been established, a measurement can be
taken. The meter should be held as shown in the illustration. For a
measurement, place the measuring ball on the surface to be
checked. You can read the measured value directly from yourmobile
device.
Note: On an even surface, the distance between the nearest wall
and the measuring ball must not be less than 10 cm. During the
measurement, the measuring device must be positioned
perpendicular to the sample.
When making a measurement, your hand should not come close to
the metal ball as the water content in the human body will falsify the
measurement.

10 Disposal
For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament
applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.
They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.
In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use
them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.
For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with
your local waste regulations.
