(1) Wind blowing across the microphone would bringadditional extraneous noise.Once using the instrument in the presence of wind, it is amust to mount the windscreen to not pick up undesirablesignals.
(2) To achieve more accurate measurement, use an extension
cable to separate the Microphone from the main body so
that the effect of unexpected sound reflection can be
eliminated.
(3) Calibrate the instrument before operation if the instrument
was not in use for a long time or operated at bad
environment.
(4) Do not store or operate the instrument at high temperature
and high humidity environment.
(5) Keep microphone dry and avoid severe vibration.
