Description of the device
By use of the humidity / air temperature measuring instrument
the temperature and humidity indoors can be determined.
Further available for the assessment of the measurements is a
MAX/MIN function (maximum and minimum value).
The display illumination automatically adjusts to the ambient light
conditions.
When not in use, an automatic switch-off saves the battery.

Storage
When the device is not being used, observe the following storage
conditions:
•dry.
• protected from dust and direct sunlight,
• with a plastic cover to protect it from invasive dust, if
neces sary.
• The storage temperature is the same as the range given in
the chapter Technical data.
• When storing the device for a long time, remove the batteries.
Inserting the battery
• Insert the supplied battery before first use.
Caution!
Make certain that the surface of the device is dry and the
device is switched off.
1. Remove the cover (16) from the device by sliding it in the
direction of the arrow.
2. Use the battery clip (17) to connect the new battery with
correct polarity.
3. Slide the cover (16) back on the device.
Switch-on and measurements
1. Press the on/off key (7).
– The display is switched on and the device is ready for
operation.
– In case of poor lighting conditions the display illumination
switches on automatically. The display illumination is
controlled by the sensor (6).
2. Point the device at the area to be measured.
– The measured values are indicated in % RH and °C.
– Wait for a moment to achieve a stable measured value.
Note:
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can lead to
condensation forming on the device's circuit board. This physical
and unavoidable effect can falsify the measurement. In this case,
the display shows either no measured values or they are
incorrect. Wait a few minutes until the device has become
adjusted to the changed conditions before carrying out a
measurement.

Changing the unit °C / °F
The default setting for the temperature unit is °C.
1. Open the battery compartment.
2. Remove the battery.
– At the upper edge you can see an opening leading to the
inside of the device. That is where the switch is located.
3. Flip the switch by means of a suitable tool (e.g. a paper clip).
– The unit is set to °F.
MAX/MIN function
By use of the MAX/MIN function you can either read the highest
or the lowest value of the current measurement interval.
1. Press the MAX/MIN button (2).
– The indication MAX (14) appears on the display.
– The display now indicates the highest temperature and
humidity values measured since the device was
switched on.
2. Press the MAX/MIN button (2) again.
– The indication MIN (9) appears on the display.
– The display now indicates the lowest temperature and
humidity values measured since the device was
switched on.
