• View MIN data: Press the ▼ button once to view minimum temperature and
humidity values for indoor or outdoor data.

Heat Index/Dew Point
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 outdoor ambient temperature.
Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the outdoor
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 outdoor ambient temperature. The
words "Dew Point" will show near outdoor temperatures.
Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.
Mounting/Positioning Outdoor sensor
First: Place the outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the weather station in
the home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the outdoor sensor to
ensure that there is proper reception.
POSITION
Outdoor:
• Protect the outdoor 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 outdoor sensor. Be sure
a box has vents.
• Mount the outdoor sensor on the North side where to prevent sun from causing
incorrect readings.
• Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.
• Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
• Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
