Using your HTS
Initial Set Up
Press Program Button to enter program mode. At any time, programming mode can be exited
by pressing and holding the program button for 3 seconds. The HTS will automatically exit
programming mode if no buttons are pressed for 20 seconds.
Press the Up or Down Cursor Buttons to change the value of the flashing field. When the correct
value is reached, press the Program Button to advance to the next field. Continue until you
have set the Hour, Minute, AM/PM, Month, Day, and Year fields.
When you reach the humidity set point field, select the lowest relative humidity value that you
are comfortable with. You may wish to contact your instrument manufacturer and ask their
recommendation as to minimum relative humidity. Normally 40-45% is a good starting point
until you determine the ideal value for your instrument. Once all the time, date, and the relative
humidity fields are properly set, hold the Program Button for three seconds and the HTS will
exit the program mode and be fully functional.
Simply place your HTS in your instrument case and monitor it daily, adding distilled water to
your humidifier as needed. Warning! Please be aware that over-humidifying an instrument can
cause serious damage. Make note of the humidity level indicated. If your HTS indicates a
reading over 60%, remove any and all humidification devices (humidifiers) from the instrument
case. Any reading over 60% may be harmful to your instrument. Take whatever measures are
necessary to move your instrument to a different environment where the relative humidity
level indicated is under 60%.

Other Functions

Memory Readings
To display the lowest temperature reading, first press and hold the Down Cursor Button and
then press the Memory Button. The lowest relative humidity recorded is indicated along with
the date and time it occurred.
Press the Memory Button again and the lowest temperature recorded will be indicated.
To display the highest temperature and humidity recorded, first press and hold the Up Cursor
Button and then the Memory Button. The readings are displayed in the same fashion.
These memory functions will be quite useful if damage occurs to your instrument. You will be
able to tell exactly what climatic conditions your instrument was exposed to, and the date and
time that the severe condition may have occurred. This is particularly useful if you travel to
varying climates with your instrument.
Resetting the Recorded Memory Readings
In order to clear the memory, press the Memory and Program Buttons at the same time. The
screen will flash twice to indicate that the reset has taken place.
Changing Settings
You can change any of the date, time, and relative humidity settings at any time by repeating the
steps outlined above. We hope you enjoy using your Planet Waves HTS. It is a precision device
designed to help you avoid climatic problems with your valuable musical instrument. It's a wise
investment to properly install and use a Planet Waves HTS and humidifier in each of your
instrument cases.
