Measurement
Considerations
and
User
Tips
For
maximum
accuracy
allow
the
light
being
measured
to
fall
directly
on
the
sensor
as
perpendicular
as
possible
with
a
minimal
angle
of
incidence.
When
the
meter
is
not
in
use,
please
keep
the
protective
cap
in
place,
covering
the
light
sensor.
This
will
prolong
the
life
of
the
sensor.
When
the
meter
is
to
be
stored
for
long
periods,
please
remove
the
battery
and
store
it
separately.

can
leak
and
cause
damage
to
the
meter’s
components.
