5.5 MAX/MIN/AVG Functions

Press the RANGE button to cycle through maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), and average (AVG) wind speed readings. This allows you to track fluctuations over time.

5.6 Data Hold

Press the HOLD button (often indicated by an 'H' or a lock icon) to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release and resume live measurements.

5.7 Taking a Measurement

Hold the anemometer upright, ensuring the fan impeller is facing directly into the wind direction. The display will show real-time wind speed and temperature readings. For accurate wind level (Beaufort scale) assessment, observe the wind speed reading and refer to a standard Beaufort scale chart.

5.8 Low Battery Indicator

A low battery icon will appear on the display when the battery level is critically low. Replace the AAA batteries promptly to ensure continued accurate operation.
