readings from internal cut surfaces rather than outer bark.
Note: you do not need to press any buttons to take a
reading. Simply hold the pins in contact with the material
and wait a few seconds for the moisture reading to change
from “Lo” to a numeric value. If the material you are
measuring has a very high moisture content the display will
first read “HI” before settling on a value. If it remains on
“HI” then the moisture content of your material is higher
than the measuring range for the selected material. For
example, when measuring drywall (material setting 3)
moisture content above 22.1% will read “HI”. If the material
you are measuring has a moisture content lower than the
measuring range for the selected material, the display will
remain on “Lo” and not change to a value. For example,
when measuring drywall (material setting 3) moisture
content below 0.8% will read “Lo”.
To ensure accurate measurements, please take multiple
readings at different locations across the material’s surface.

When taking a measurement in hard to access areas you
may want to press the Mode button once to freeze the
currently displayed value. The symbol “HOLD” will be
displayed in the top left corner along with the reading. Now
