How to use

Turn the meter on using the single control button and select the appropriate mode if applicable for the material being tested. Place the sensor end against the material surface and allow the display to stabilize to obtain a moisture percentage or relative reading.

Follow any calibration or reference procedures described in the product manual for specific material types.

Recommendations

Perform measurements at several points and average results to reduce localized variation. Avoid using the meter on extremely rough or dirty surfaces without cleaning the contact area first. Store the device in a dry, stable environment and replace batteries as recommended to maintain display accuracy.
