Switch-on and measurements
1. Press the power button (7).
ð
The display will be switched on and the device ready for
operation.
ð
In case of poor lighting conditions the display
illumination switches on automatically. The display
illumination is controlled by the sensor (6).
2. Point the device with the microphone end directly toward
the sound source.
ð
Reach out as far as possible to hold the device away
from your body or mount it to a tripod via the tripod
thread (3). This helps to avoid foreign influences during
the sound measurement.
ð
If it is windy (> 10 m/s) use the supplied wind shield so
as not to falsify the measured value.
ð
The measured value will be displayed in dB(A).
Note:
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can lead to
condensation forming on the device's circuit board. This
physical and unavoidable effect can falsify the measurement.
In this case, the display shows either no measured values or
they are incorrect. Wait a few minutes until the device has
become adjusted to the changed conditions before carrying out
a measurement.
Info
Please note that the measurement of a sound source
always has to be carried out directly. There must be no
objects or persons located in between the microphone
and the sound source, unless their influence on the
sound intensity is to be measured on purpose as well.
Setting the MAX/MIN function
By use of the MAX/MIN function you can either read the highest
or the lowest value.
1. Press the MAX/MIN button (2).
ð
The MAX indication (10) appears on the display.

The display now indicates the highest sound level
measured since the device was switched on.
2. Press the MAX/MIN button (2) again.
ð
The MIN indication (8) appears on the display.
ð
The display now indicates the lowest sound level
measured since the device was switched on.
3. Press the MAX/MIN button (2) for 2 seconds.
