Measurement Considerations
1. Wind blowing across the microphone adds extraneous noise to the measurement. Use the
supplied windscreen to cover the microphone when applicable.
2. Calibrate the instrument before each use if possible. Especially if the meter has not been used
for a long period of time.
3. Do not store or operate the instrument in areas of high temperature or humidity.
4. Keep meter and microphone dry.
5. Avoid severe vibration when using the meter.
6. Remove the battery when the meter is to be stored for long periods of time.
