3.3 Taking Measurements

Once powered on, the device will immediately begin displaying real-time wind speed and temperature readings. Ensure the impeller (fan) at the top of the device is exposed to the wind flow for accurate measurements.

• Hold the device upright, allowing wind to pass through the impeller.
• The wind speed will be displayed prominently on the LCD screen.
• The temperature will be displayed below the wind speed.

3.4 Data Hold Function

To freeze the current readings on the display:

• Briefly press the MODE button while the device is displaying readings. The "HOLD" icon will appear on the screen.
• To exit Data Hold mode and resume real-time measurements, briefly press the MODE button again.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the casing or display.
• Keep the impeller free from dust and debris to ensure accurate readings. Use a soft brush or compressed air if necessary, but avoid touching the impeller blades directly.

4.2 Battery Replacement

When the battery indicator on the LCD shows low power, replace the CR2032 battery following the instructions in Section 2.1. Remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

4.3 Storage

Store the anemometer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage.
