next preference. The “ ” icon will remain illuminated next to calibrated 

values.

  The preference set order is as follows:

INDOOR HUMIDITY 

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE  (must be set to MANUAL mode to calibrate)*

  *To change from AUTO to MANUAL pressure mode and vice versa, press 

AND HOLD the “

” button for at least 10 seconds. The display indicates 

the current pressure mode selected,“AUTO” or “MANUAL”. 

After 20 seconds of inactivity, the display will save the adjustments and exit
