4. Initial Setup
4.1 Charging the Device
Before first use, fully charge the anemometer's built-in 600mAh Li-Ion battery. Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the device's Type-C port and plug the other end into a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port. The charging indicator on the display will show charging status.
4.2 Connecting the Probe
Carefully connect the telescopic probe to the main unit's designated port. Ensure a secure connection to prevent inaccurate readings. The probe can be extended and bent up to 360 degrees for optimal positioning in various measurement scenarios.
