Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to accurately measure soil moisture and temperature:
- Power On: Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the device.
- Prepare for Insertion: Ensure the soil is soft enough to allow the probe to be inserted without excessive force. Avoid inserting into hard or rocky soil to prevent damage to the probe.
- Insert the Probe: Gently insert the stainless steel probe vertically into the soil to the desired depth. For best results, insert the probe deep enough to reach the root zone of the plant. Avoid touching the probe tip with your hands to prevent inaccurate readings.
- Read the Display: Once the probe is inserted, the LCD screen will display the current soil temperature and humidity percentage. Allow a few moments for the readings to stabilize.
- Memory Function (MAX/MIN):
- Press the MAX/MIN button once to view the maximum temperature and humidity recorded since the last reset.
- Press the MAX/MIN button again to view the minimum temperature and humidity recorded.
- To clear the MAX/MIN memory, press and hold the MAX/MIN button for a few seconds until the display resets.
- Remove the Probe: After taking your readings, gently pull the probe straight out of the soil.
- Clean the Probe: Wipe the probe clean with a soft cloth after each use to remove any soil residue. This ensures accuracy for future measurements.
- Power Off: Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the device and conserve battery life.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your DEWIN Soil Hygrometer.
- Clean the Probe: Always wipe the stainless steel probe clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as this may damage the sensor.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it out of reach of children.
- Avoid Water Immersion: While the probe is designed for soil, do not immerse the main unit (LCD display and buttons) in water or other liquids.
- Battery Replacement: If the display becomes dim or the device fails to power on, the battery may need replacement. The device uses a standard button cell battery (type not specified in provided data, but common for such devices). Refer to the battery compartment for specific battery type and replacement instructions.
- Handle with Care: Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts, which could damage internal components or the probe.
