and humidity values for indoor and remote data.
 View MIN data: Press the ▼ button once to view minimum temperature and humidity
values for indoor or remote data.
 Reset MIN data: Hold the ▼ button for five seconds to reset minimum temperature
and humidity values for indoor and remote data.

Heat Index/Dew Point/Mold Risk

Heat Index:
 Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity.
 Heat Index is what the temperature feels to a human being.
 As humidity increases, the body is unable to cool effectively.
 The temperature will feel warmer.
View Heat Index: From the default time display, press the HEAT/DEW button once and
Heat Index will show instead of the remote ambient temperature.
Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the remote temperature
is above 26.7°C (80°F).
Dew Point Temperature:
 Dew Point Temperature is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which
the air has to cool in order to create condensation.
 The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given
temperature.
View Dew Point Temperature: From the default time display, press the HEAT/DEW
button twice and Dew Point will show instead of the remote ambient temperature. The
words "Dew Point" will show near remote temperatures.
Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.
Mold Risk (Remote and Indoor):
 Mold spores occur in both indoor and outdoor environments.
 When mold spores drop on places where there is excessive moisture, mold may grow.
 Place the remote sensor outdoors to monitor backyard weather conditions, or use it
indoors to monitor high mold risk areas like in a crawl space or a basement.
View Indoor and Remote Mold Risk: From the default time display, press the
HEAT/DEW button three times to view the mold risk indicators for indoor and remote
sensor.

Mounting/Positioning Remote sensor

First: Place the remote sensor in the desired shaded location and the weather station in the
home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the remote sensor to
ensure that there is proper reception.
POSITION
Outdoor:
 Protect the remote sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun, which
can cause it to read incorrectly.
 Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well.
 If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the remote sensor. Be sure a
box has vents.
 Mount the remote sensor on the North side where to prevent sun from causing incorrect
readings.
