Introduction 

Congratulations  on  your  purchase  of  the  Extech  MO260  Moisture  Meter.  The  MO260  detects 
moisture in wood and other materials such as particle board, carpeting, and ceiling/bathroom tiles 
using  the  non-invasive  method  (pinless);  the  MO260  also  measures  moisture  in  sheet  rock  and 
other  building  materials  using  the  pin  method.  This  meter  is  shipped  fully  tested  and  calibrated 
and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.
