Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech Hygro-Thermometer plus InfraRed
Thermometer. This device measures relative humidity, air temperature (with probe), and
surface temperature (with the InfraRed function). The large, easy-to-read backlit LCD
includes primary and secondary displays plus numerous status indicators. The InfraRed
feature includes a laser pointer for convenient targeting. Careful use of this meter will
provide years of reliable service.
