Measuring fruit

To capture readings with the device:

  1. Ensure the device is turned on and set to the correct mode

  2. Place a fruit firmly and still over the sensor section so that it makes close contact with the rubber molding.

For best results, keep the sun in front of you while performing readings and if there is strong sunlight present, use the rubber sunlight shield

  1. Press the trigger of the device. The measuring process takes two seconds with two beep sounds.

  2. The results will be displayed on both the device screen and in the mobile app.
