SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL BATTERY
To open the battery compartment, turn the meter over and lift the tab at the
bottom of the battery compartment cover (Fig. 1, Callout G). Remove the cover
and set it aside. Then plug a “9V” Alkaline battery into the wired socket inside
the compartment. The terminals of the battery and the socket mate in only one
way, with the smaller male terminal plugging into the larger female terminal.
Close the battery compartment by replacing its cover and snapping it shut.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To power on the meter
, press the
ON
button (Fig. 1, Callout B). The meter will
immediately display the sunlight intensity, moisture level and temperature of
the ambient environment on the three readouts (Fig. 2, Callouts A, D and C).
Note that the green LCD backlight comes on automatically when the meter
powers on. It will remain on for 90 seconds.
To reactivate the backlight
after
it goes out, briefly press (but do not hold) the
C/F OFF
button twice. The first
press will change the temperature unit from °F to °C and turn the backlight
back on. The second press will switch back to °F.
Also note that the meter will automatically power off after any 5-1/2 minute
period during which no front-panel buttons are pressed. This Automatic Power
Off (APO) function extends battery life.
