TO SET TEMPERATURE CORRECTION:

TotalCheck defaults to a temperature of 70ºF. As wood temperature increases, its

electrical resistance decreases and indicated moisture content rises. Lower wood

temperatures result in lower indicated moisture content. A correction is necessary if the

temperature accordingly and the meter will make the correction.
