First-time use:
– Water the plant substrate well and evenly.
– Submerge the sensor tip with its felt (7) in cold water for approx. 3
minutes.
– Switching on: Hold the "PRESS" (1) key down until the warning light
flashes 1x
– Setting the moisture level: 3 optional moisture levels are possible
after switching your Moistick on:
1 drop = for plants that prefer to be moderately moist to dry
2 drops = for plants that prefer to be moderately moist
3 drops = for plants that prefer to be always moist
The default setting of 3 drops will flash and is memorized after
approximately 5 seconds. If you wish to change the moisture level,
press the "PRESS" key briefly while the set level is flashing until the
level you require flashes. Then wait for the new setting to be
memorized.
– Setting the Moistick for indoors/outdoors: After setting the moisture
level, the symbol (house) will flash for indoor mode (3) and is
memorized after approximately 5 seconds. If outdoor mode (sun) is
required, push the "PRESS" key briefly while the symbol is flashing
and wait until the new symbol is memorized.
– Insert your Moistick digital into the substrate: Form a hole near the
root zone and push the Moistick in as far as the lower edge of its
cover (8). Ensure that the sensor tip (7) is in close contact with the
substrate. If used outdoors, ensure that your Moistick is not exposed
to the full heat of the sun.
– Reprogramming: Switch off the Moistick and switch it on again. It is
now ready for reprogramming.

Current substrate moisture level: The moisture level is first measured
approximately 15 minutes after the Moistick has been programmed. A
scale of up to 6 bars is displayed (4) to indicate the current substrate
moisture level. In indoor mode, the moisture level of the substrate is
then automatically measured every 6 hours and in outdoor mode it is
measured every 3 hours.
Watering alarm: The warning light (5) flashes 1x every four seconds.
When this occurs, water the entire surface of the substrate and all
round the Moistick digital evenly. Your Moistick digital is splash-
resistant.
IMPORTANT: Push the "PRESS" key briefly after watering to
switch off the warning light (the batteries will run down quickly if your
Moistick is left to flash unnecessarily).
Moistick digital XL: A Moistick digital XL is suitable for planters that
are approx. 30 cm tall and larger as well as for plants with roots that go
deeper.
Battery status: The batteries need replacing when the battery symbol
(6) appears. Correct use of your Moistick will result in a battery life of
approximately 1½ years.
Battery replacement: Remove the cover (8) by pushing up the tab at
the front. Gently lift out the battery holder. Pay close attention to correct
polarity when inserting new batteries. Then re-insert the battery holder
into its housing in the Moistick. Always dispose of old batteries
appropriately.
Switching off: Hold the PRESS (1) key down until the warning light (5)
flashes 2x.
Tip: the initial moisture level should be set at 3 drops. If the
warning light flashes too soon for a particular type of plant, reduce
the moisture level to 2 drops or 1.
