Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
I cannot turn off my meter, do you know why?
Often times, the meter cannot be turned off because it is in recording
mode ("REC" mode). Make sure to exit that function by holding down the
REC button before attempting to turn the meter off.
How long can I record for?
Battery life will depend on a number of factors:
• Quality of Battery
• Whether the beeper is ON or OFF
• Whether the backlight is ON or OFF
• Environmental Conditions during data logging
As a reference, using alkaline batteries with both the backlight and beeper
on while automatic data logging at a 2 second sampling rate; the batteries
will last approximately 14 hours.
