- Ike Na: Press the "POWER" button to start the device. The instrument will automatically enter the working state.
- Select Grain Type: If the current grain displayed is not the desired grain, press the "SET" button twice continuously. The grain menu will appear on the screen. Use the "+" or "-" buttons to select the desired grain type. Press the "SET" button again to automatically save the selection and return to the measuring mode.
- Fill and Measure: Fill the measuring cup approximately half full with the grain sample. Gently shake the meter to settle the grains. Then, fill the measuring cup up to the brim (total volume about 70ml). Place the cover on top and apply pressure slowly until the LCD displays the tested value. Release the pressure once the reading is stable.
- Nkezi Ọgụgụ: Pour out the sample. Refill with a new sample and repeat the measurement. After more than two measurements, press the "SET" button to display the average value of the samples.
- Gbanwee ihie: In measuring mode, press the "+" or "-" button to adjust the LCD brightness. If the moisture reading is out of the meter's range, the display will show "LOW".
- Battery Life & Auto-Off: One 9V (6F22) battery can be used for approximately 6 months. The device features an automatic power-off function after 3 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
7. Moisture Correction
The AMT155 allows for adjustment of moisture readings to fine-tune accuracy based on specific grain conditions or reference standards.

| Ngwaọrụ anaghị agbanwu ọkụ | Batrị nwụrụ anwụ ma ọ bụ arụnyere na ezighi ezi | Check battery polarity; replace with a new 9V battery. |
| Ọgụgụ na-ezighi ezi | Incorrect grain type selected; sensor dirty; need for moisture correction | Ensure correct grain type is selected. Clean the sensor area. Perform moisture correction (Section 7). |
| "LOW" displayed on screen | Moisture content is below the measurable range | This indicates the grain is very dry. The reading is outside the device's lower limit. |
| No reading after filling cup | Insufficient pressure applied to the cover; sensor obstruction | Ensure the cover is pressed down firmly until a reading appears. Check for any obstructions in the measuring cup or sensor. |
