A)

Thin objects (< 30 mm thick) must not be lying on a surface or another object during the measurement, as otherwise the measuring results may be distorted.

B)

At an operating temperature of 25 °C

C)

Measured moisture values for construction materials are for reference only. They are not comparable with the results of standard methods such as the calcium carbide method or the oven dry method.

D)

Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs, although occasional temporary conductivity caused by condensation can be expected. Allow the measuring tool to acclimatise and remove condensation from the probe tips before taking a measurement.

E)

At 23 °C (±2 °C), medium screen brightness and with the audio signal switched off

F)

Weight without lithium-ion battery pack/non-rechargeable batteries
