seconds then disappeared, saving the current
measuring of displayed. The instrument can save at
most 200 sets of data. When the data are full of 200 sets
and can save the data again, the latest data will cover
the earliest data, it just only can save the latest 200 sets
of data.
4.13.2 Reading the Measurement Data Mode

5 Check before Using
Make sure the battery is installed properly. If the LCD
displays , please replace the battery.
When turning on the thermometer, all LCD displayed
items will be lighted about 1 second.
Make sure all the function switches are positioned
correctly. ( Make sure the “HOLD” sign is not displayed
on the LCD. )
6 Measurement Method
Power on the Temperature / Humidity Meter. If you want
to disable the auto-power off function, please refer to
4.12 section.
Put the Temperature / Humidity Meter into the place wait
for measuring.
Keep the thermometer still about 15 minutes to
achieve the best readings. ( According to measuring
space and the measuring temperature and humidity
maybe increase or decrease of readings. )

7 CAUTIONS
Please avoid using the Temperature / Humidity Meter in
an environment with drastic temperature and humidity
changes. Do not put the thermometer in an environment
prone to high temperature, high humidity, or vigorous
vibrations. Avoid exposing the thermometer in a
chemical-contaminated environment.
When do not use the Temperature / Humidity Meter for
an extended period of time, remove the battery to avoid
damage to the thermometer due to the leaking battery
fluid.
Cleaning and Checking of temperature sensor : Pay
attention to smoke、dust on the humidity sensor will let
the sensor’s response time slow down, and causing
inaccuracy when measuring. Clean up the sensor
periodically by simply blowing away the dust particles.
Do not use water、alcohol or other chemical solvent
when cleaning.
Do not put the Temperature / Humidity Meter in any
liquid to prevent damage to the thermometer.
