CAL (CALIBRATION)
Your meter has been accurately calibrat-
ed and normally will not require further ad-
justment. If adjustment is necessary, take
the sound meter to an audio professional
who can calibrate the meter by connecting
special equipment, such as a sound gen-
erator, to the
CAL
jack.
MEASUREMENTS
Important:
Do not hold the meter directly
between you and the sound source,
as this might produce an error of sev-
eral decibels in the frequency range
above 100 Hz. Position the meter so
an imaginary line between you and
the meter is perpendicular to a line
between the meter and the sound
source.
Handle the meter carefully. The
microphone and meter movement are
fragile and might be damaged if the
instrument is dropped. Do not oper-
ate the meter at a range setting that
causes pegging of the needle. This
could damage the movement.
