2. Impostazione
2.1 Installazione della batteria
The FM-200 requires 2x AAA batteries (not included). To install the batteries:
- Individuare il coperchio del vano batteria sul retro del dispositivo.
- Per aprire il vano, far scorrere o sganciare il coperchio.
- Inserire 2 batterie AAA, assicurandosi che la polarità sia corretta (+/-) come indicato all'interno del vano.
- Riposizionare saldamente il coperchio del vano batteria.
2.2 Accensione iniziale
After installing the batteries, press the power button (if available, otherwise it may power on automatically). The display should illuminate, showing '0.0%' or a similar initial reading. If the display does not turn on, check battery installation and charge.
3. Istruzioni per l'uso
3.1 Selezione della modalità di misurazione
The FM-200 features a switch at the bottom of the display to select between 'Wood' and 'Building' material measurement modes. Slide the switch to the desired mode before taking a measurement.

3.2 Esecuzione di una misurazione
Per misurare il contenuto di umidità:
- Ensure the device is powered on and the correct measurement mode ('Wood' or 'Building') is selected.
- Carefully press the two measurement pins at the top of the device firmly into the material you wish to test. Ensure both pins penetrate the surface adequately for an accurate reading.
- Leggi la percentuale di umiditàtage directly from the numerical display. The bargraph provides a quick visual indication of the moisture level.
- Remove the pins from the material once the reading stabilizes.

3.3 Interpretazione delle letture
La percentuale visualizzatatage indicates the moisture content of the material. Refer to industry standards or specific material guidelines for acceptable moisture levels for your application (e.g., for firewood, construction timber, or plaster).
4. Manutenzione
4.1 Pulizia
Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the measurement pins are clean and free of debris after each use to maintain accuracy.
