Operation

5.1 Powering the Meter

The meter operates on three (3) 1.5 V (AAA) batteries, installed in the rear

compartment.

Long press the power button to switch the meter on. Short press the power

button to switch the meter off. If the meter does not switch on, check the bat-

teries for proper orientation.

When the battery icon appears on the display, replace the batteries immedi-

ately to ensure accurate readings.

5.2 Auto Power Off (APO)

The meter switches OFF automatically five (5) minutes after the last button

press.

The default mode for APO is ON (the APO symbol on the display indicates

that APO is enabled).

To switch the APO function off, with the meter switched on, long press the

power and Hbuttons. The APO symbol will switch off, indicating that the

function is disabled. APO is reset each time the meter’s power is cycled.

Repeat this process to switch APO back on manually.

5.3 Taking Measurements

1. Long press the power button to switch the meter on.

2. Hold the meter in hand, set it on a desk or table, or mount it on a tripod in

the area under test.

3. Read the sound level measurement on the LCD. Sound level measure-

ments are presented in A-weighted decibel units. A-weighted measure-

ments simulate the response curve of the human ear to sound.

4. If the measurement is over range, OL will appear on the display in place of

a typical reading. If the measurement is under range, UN will appear.

CAUTION

Do not touch or otherwise obstruct the microphone.

Do not allow liquids to come in contact with the microphone.

Do not allow dust or other particles to enter the microphone.

Use the windscreen to cover the microphone in windy environments.

Operation

5.4 Fast/Slow Response

Short press the Fast/Slow button to toggle the meter’s response time. Use the

Fast response mode (125 ms) to capture sounds that peak very quickly such

as fireworks. Use the Slow response mode (1 second) to monitor consistent

sounds such as the hum, or drone, of machinery.

5.5 Data Hold Function

Short press the Data Hold (H) button to freeze/unfreeze the displayed read-

ings. While Data Hold is active, HOLD will appear on the LCD.

5.6 LCD Backlight

Long press the backlight button to switch the display backlight on or off.

Excessive use of the backlight will shorten battery life.

5.7 MAX/MIN Readings

When the device is switched on, it begins tracking the highest (MAX) and low-

est (MIN) readings.

Short press the MAX/MIN button to step through the MAX/MIN memories.

The memories are cleared each time the meter power is cycled.

Press the MAX/MIN button again to exit this mode (MAX and MIN symbols

switch off when you exit).

5.8 Bluetooth Operation

Long press the Bluetooth button with the meter on, to switch Bluetooth on

or off. This communication symbol is shown when Bluetooth is on.

The Bluetooth utility allows you to remotely monitor readings on an iOS or An-

droid smart device using the Extech ExView mobile app designed for use with

this meter.

Download the ExView mobile app from the App Store for iOS devices or from

Google Play for Android devices. Instructions for mobile app use are available

from the ExView product page on the Extech website (link below).

http://www.extech.com

Switch APO off when using Bluetooth by pressing and holding the power

and Hbuttons for 2 seconds (the APO symbol will switch off). This will pre-

vent the meter from automatically switching off while you are logging data or

monitoring readings in real time on your smart device.
