Connect the sensor following the steps in the Getting Started section of this user
manual.
The sensing microphone on the Sound Level Sensor is located inside the hole in
the top of the case. Because the microphone is located inside the sensor, it is
helpful to point the microphone hole toward the source of the sounds you are
measuring.
When using the Sound Level Sensor, be mindful of the environment around the
sensor. Wind blowing across the opening or vibrations from the surface on which
it is resting can cause the sensor to read much higher than it should. When
collecting data, place the sensor on its foam feet or hold the sensor in your hand to
separate the microphone from extraneous vibrations.
