as it powers up. If the meter does not switch on, 

please check the battery. The meter emits audible tones and performs a 
self-calibration upon start-up. Keep the measurement sensor at least 8 to 
10 cm (3 to 4”) from hands and objects during calibration. The calibration 
reading must not exceed 0.5. If so, re-calibrate ensuring that hands or 
other objects are clear of the sensor. Note: Calibrate the meter whenever 
moving from one measurement area to another.

 

 

Auto Power OFF 

 

The meter will automatically power OFF if the reading stays 0% for 3 
minutes. If the meter detects readings, other than 0%, it will not 
automatically power OFF.
