3. Use the
 key to change the job number. Press the  key and highlight
DONE. Press SELECT to save that job number.
If it is a new job, the “Create Job” screen will appear as follows:
At the “Create Job” screen, you may select the material being tested, specify
the temperature at which measurements will be taken, and select an alarm value,
if desired. All parameters are alterable while taking readings in the new job,
except for the species.
If the job was previously defined and used, you will be asked if you want to
“Append Data?”
Use the  keys to answer “YES” or “NO.” If YES is selected, the meter
will retrieve the selected job’s settings (during this time a “PROCESSING…”
message appears) and then switch back to the Pin Mode screen with the
restored settings.
If NO is selected, the meter returns to the Job sub menu.
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
wood temperature is outside the range of 50ºF (10ºC) to 90ºF (32ºC). Set the
temperature accordingly and the meter will make the correction.
