You have just acquired a high precision instrument,
realized with the most up-to-date technology. It was
conceived to resist to an intensive use. However we
recommend that you to treat it carefully and carefully
read this owner’s manual.

The LCD panel is split into three areas:

Top :

display of wind speed 

Centre :

display of humidity gradient 

Bottom :

display of temperature modes

Start-up 

To start up your               , push either the temperature     or the wind button     .

To remove the protective cap, push on the grooved areas on each side of the cap and pull
upwards.

Measuring Instant Wind Speed 

Measurement units : In order to choose between units, press the wind button

for approximately 4 seconds. The following selection will appear:

km/h

(kilometres per hour),

mph

(miles per hour),

knots, m/s

(metres per second),

and 

fps

(feet per second).

Display : Resolution to the unit. From 100 units upwards, the last digit is
displayed smaller than the others. Please refer to 

Fig 1

opposite, showing the

display of a 112 km/h wind.

Measuring range :
km/h

from 3 to 255

mph

from 2 to 150

knots

from 2 to 150

m/s

from 2 to 100

fps

from 2 to 255

Measuring cycle : one measurement carried out every second

Precision : Thanks to the omni-directional cups, wind can be
measured regardless of its direction. Precision on horizontal plane :
+/- 4 %.
