4. MAX/MIN hold button
4.1 Press it to select the maximum, minimum or
current reading. Press for more 1 second to
return normal measurement.
4.2 The MAX/MIN function will be disable if:
The MAX/MIN is pressed for more than 1 second.
Turn off the meter.
5 Frequency Weighting select button.
A：A-Weighting. For general sound level
measurements. C：C-Weighting. For checking
the low-frequency content of noise.(If the C-
Weighted level is much higher than the A-
weighted level, then there is a large amount of
low-frequency noise)

3. CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
Using a standard Acoustic Calibrator(94dB,1KHz Sine
wave)
1. Make the button settings. Display：dBA
Time weighting：FAST
2. Insert the Microphone nozzle carefully into the
insertion hole of the calibrator.
3. Press A/C button then press the HOLD button, hold
the 2 buttons at the same time more than 1 second.
LCD will be blinking to confirm calibration.
4. When LCD blinked, release the A/C and the HOLD
buttons. The sound level meter will display 94.0
dBA . The calibration is done.

5. The 94 dB calibration process can be repeated until the
meter reads 94.0 dB. Recalibration cycle：1 year.
4. MEASUREMENT PREPARATION
1. Battery Loading
Remove the battery cover on the back and put in
one 9V Battery.
2. Battery Replacement When the battery voltage
drops below the operating voltage, the mark
appears. If it appears, battery should be replaced
with new one.
5. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
1. Wind blowing across the microphone would bring
additional extraneous noise. Once using the
instrument in the presence of wind, it is necessary
to mount the windscreen preventing to pick up
undesirable signals.
2. Calibrate the instrument before operation if the
instrument was not in use for a long time or
operation at bad environment.
3. Do not store or operate the instrument at high
temperature and high humidity environment.
4. Keep microphone dry and avoid severe vibration.
5. Please take out the battery and keep the instrument
in low humidity environment. When it is not in use.

6. MEASUREMENT
1. Open battery cover and install a 9 Volt battery in
battery compartment.
2. Turn on power and select the desired response
time and weighting. If the sound source consists of
short bursts or only catching sound peak, set
response to FAST. To measure average sound
level, use the slow setting. Select A weighting for
general noise sound level and C weighting for
measuring sound level of acoustic material.
3. When MAX/ MIN (maximum, minimum hold) mode
is chosen. The instrument captures and holds the
maximum or minimum noise level . Press once to
select MAX value. Press again to select MIN value,
Press again to exit the MAX/MIN mode. “MAX” or ”
MIN” symbol disappears.
4. Turn off the instrument and remove the battery
when it is not in use.
