Operation
When taking measurements, always point the measuring microphone (2) exactly
towards the sound source to be measured.
Ensure that there are no persons or objects between the measuring microphone (2)
and the sound source.
To avoid affecting the sound waves, hold the measuring device as far away from
your body as possible or place it on a stand.
Avoid vibrations or movements.
Use the enclosed wind deflector (1) for wind or strong draughts so as not to distort
the measurement through wind sounds. The wind deflector (1) does not distort the
measurement results.
• Press the button once to switch on the device.
• Press the button once to switch off the device.
The device turns off automatically after approx. 5 minutes of inactivity.
To deactivate the automatic switch-off for the next measurement, press the
ton with the device switched off and then press and hold the
(3) shows the respective status ("APO OFF" = automatic switch-off deactivated).
The automatic switch-off is activated when the device is switched on the next time.
• When switched on, the sound level meter immediately begins to measure the sound level and
displays the measured values in the measurement value display (8).
• Press the button to toggle between maximum measurement value, minimum measu-
rement value and current measurement value. The currently displayed values are indicated
with the MAX/MIN display (5) (nothing displayed >> current measurement value).
• Press the button to "freeze" the displayed value. The current measurement value is
shown continuously, HOLD (6) is shown in the display. Press the
to the normal display.
• Press and hold the button to switch the display light on or off.
• Press the button to toggle the measurement interval. FAST/SLOW (9) in the display
indicates the set measurement interval (FAST = 125 ms, SLOW = 1 s).
The FAST setting is used for quickly changing sound levels. The SLOW setting is
used for continuous, constant sound levels.
• If the measured values are outside of the measurement range, the display (3) shows "UN" or
"OL" ("UN" = measurement values < 30 dB, "OL" = measurement values > 130 dB).

• Are the batteries spent?
The displayed measurement value is incorrect or changes when the measurement
signal changes
• Are the batteries spent?
• Is the signal to be measured inside of the measurement range?
• Are there obstacles or persons present between the sound source and the measurement
microphone (2)?
• Was the maximum or minimum measurement value display activated?
• Was the measurement value display "frozen"?

symbol shown to indicate that disposal in the household waste is forbidden. The
symbols of the critical heavy metals are: Cd=cadmium, Hg=mercury, Pb=lead (mar-
king can be seen on the battery / rechargeable battery, e.g., underneath the refuse
bin symbol shown on the left).
