Measurement
•
Hold the measuring surface against the flat surface of the object you wish to test (see the figure

Once the humidity content has exceeded the measuring range, "HH%" is shown on the screen.
•
Press the HOLD button to "freeze" the measured value on the screen.

The ambient temperature and humidity is also shown on the lower section of the screen. Using the
measured values, the device calculates a mildew index which is shown in the lower bar diagram.
