1. Safety precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following
directives of the European Union for CE conformity: 2014/30/EU
(electromagnetic compatibility), 2011/65/EU (RoHS).
The following safety precautions must be observed before
operation. Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety
precautions are exempt from any legal claims whatever:
* Comply with the warning labels and other info on the
equipment.
* Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme
temperatures, humidity or dampness.
* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
* Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields
(motors, transformers etc.).
* Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
* Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before
taking up measurement (important for exact measurements).
*Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator “ ”
appears. With a low battery, the meter might produce false
reading that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.
* Fetch out the battery when the meter will not be used for long
period.
* Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid
detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
* Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed
and screwed safely as terminal can carry voltage.
* Do not store the meter in a place of explosive, inflammable
substances.
* Do not modify the meter in any way.
* Opening the equipment and service- and repair work must only
be performed by qualified service personnel.
* Measuring instruments don’t belong to children hands.

Cleaning the cabinet
Clean only with a damp, soft cloth and a commercially available
mild householder cleanser. Ensure that no water gets inside the
equipment to prevent possible shorts and damage to the
equipment.

6. Performing Measurement
General:
1. Temperature measurement:
The display shows the air temperature in °C/°F.
2. Humidity measurement:
The display shows the relative humidity in %RH.
Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor at room or
ambient air.
3. To "freeze" the current reading press the "HOLD" - button.
The display stops updating the measured values and the
"HOLD" - symbol appears.
Automatic Power Off:
If the device is no longer used, it will automatically turn off after 10
minutes.
Backlight:
This unit features an automatic backlight, which activates the
backlight when the light sensor on the front panel detects low light
conditions.

7. Battery Replacement
If the sign “ ” appears on the LCD display, it indicates that the
battery should be replaced.
Remove the back cover and open the battery compartment.
Replace the exhausted battery with new battery.
Batteries, which are used up dispose duly. Used up batteries are
hazardous and must be given in the - for this being supposed -
collective container.
NOTE
1. Keep the instrument dry.
2. Keep the probes clean.
3. Keep the instrument and battery out of reach of infant and
child.
4. When the symbol ” ” appears, the battery is low and should
be replaced immediately. When you install battery, ensure the
polarity connections are correct. If you will not use the
instrument in a long period of time, remove the battery.

7.1. Notification about the Battery Regulation
The delivery of many devices includes batteries, which for example
serve to operate the remote control. There also could be batteries
or accumulators built into the device itself. In connection with the
sale of these batteries or accumulators, we are obliged under the
Battery Regulations to notify our customers of the following:
Please dispose of oldbatteries at a council collection pointor return
them to a local shop at no cost. The disposal in domestic refuse is

of a crossed-out refuse bin and thechemical symbol (Cd, Hg or Pb)
of the heavy metal which is responsible for the classification as
pollutant:
1. "Cd" means cadmium.
2. "Hg" means mercury.
3. "Pb" stands for lead.

maximum value mode. The meter is now renewed only if the
current measuredvalue exceeds the highest previous reading.
3. Press the "MAX / MIN - HOLD" button again to switch to the
minimum value mode. The meter is now renewed only if the
current measured value is lower than the previous reading.
4. Press the button again to switch back to the normal
measurement mode.
Automatic Power Off
If the device is no longer used it automatically turns off after 10
minutes.
