Your Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meter is designed to provide accurate measurement of current conditions only.
Depending on your location and environment, conditions may change rapidly.
Rapid temperature and humidity changes (i.e., moving your meter from indoors to outdoors) may cause inaccurate readings of temperature
and humidity, as well as all readings that rely on either of these values. Before relying on
Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meter readings, be sure to use care to either a) force air ow over the sensors by waving or slinging your
meter through the air; or b) wait until your unit’s readings have stabilized, indicating that it has equilibrated to its new environment.
To maximize the accuracy and reliability of your readings:
• Ensure that your Kestrel Meter is in good repair and within factory calibration.
• Take readings frequently and carefully according to the guidelines above.
• Allow your meter’s readings to stabilize after signicant changes in temperature or humidity (i.e., changing location from
indoors to outdoors).
• Allow a margin of safety for changing conditions and reading errors (2-3% of reading is recommended).
Use extra care and good judgment when referring to your Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meter to make any decisions
regarding safety, health or property protection.
To reduce the risk of injury or death to persons, read and follow these guidelines!
Your Kestrel Weather/Environmental Weather Meter may provide Heat Index or Wind Chill Index, measurements relating to estimation
of danger of injury to people or animals from heat or cold. Certain individuals or animals may be more susceptible to harm relating to
environmental conditions and require additional precautions. For example, very young or elderly individuals, individuals with asthma,
and individuals who have not become acclimatized to hot conditions are likely to be more
prone to heat injury.
•

Where appropriate, seek the guidance of a medical professional.
