Water and Snow Temperature
The Kestrel Meter may also be used
to measure the temperature of water
and snow. Submerge the thermistor
portion (curly exposed wire in window
next to impeller) in water or snow
to get an accurate reading. Kestrel
Meters are completely waterproof
and can be safely submerged in water
according to IP-67 standards (up to 1
meter for a maximum of 30 minutes).

seconds.
• Press again to manually deactivate
the backlight before 10 seconds expire.
Compass Accuracy
The accuracy of the compass can be
affected by:
• Compass calibration: Refer to
calibration instructions.
• Local magnetic fields: Metal
objects and devices emitting
electric signals may influence the
compass accuracy.
• Rapid Movements
Confirm that the accuracy of the compass
in the measurement environment is suitable
for your purposes.
