Preparation

(1) Battery loading

Remove the battery cover on the back and put in one 9V

Battery.

Operating Precautions

Precautions

(1) Wind blowing across the microphone would bring

additional extraneous noise.

Once using the instrument in the presence of wind, it is a must to mount the windscreen to not pick up undesirable signals.

(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.

(6) Please take the battery and keep the instrument in low

humidity environment. When not in use.
