Temperature Trend Arrows 

Explanation:

 The indoor and outdoor temperature trend indicators will update every 30 minutes or less. 

These trends represent temperature changes over the past three hours. 

UP ARROW: Temperature rose more than 2°F /1°C in the past three hours

RIGHT ARROW: Temperature has 

not changed

 more than 2°F /1°C in the past three hours

DOWN ARROW: Temperature fell more than 2°F /1°C in the past three hours

MIN/MAX Temperature readings 

Explanation:

 The weather station shows the daily minimum and maximum temperatures each day 

starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The weather station automatically resets the MIN/MAX temperatures at 
midnight (12:00 AM). 

  

View MIN data: 

Press and release the MIN TEMP button to view the minimum Indoor and Outdoor

Temperatures.

Reset MIN data: 

Hold the MIN TEMP button for 5 seconds and the Indoor and all Outdoor Minimum

Temperatures will reset. The temperature area will show dashes briefly then return to current
temperatures.

View MAX data: 

Press and release the MAX TEMP button to view the maximum Indoor and Outdoor

Temperatures.

Reset MAX data: 

Hold the MAX TEMP button for 5 seconds and the Indoor and all Outdoor

Maximum Temperatures will reset. The temperature area will show dashes briefly then return to
current temperatures

Heat Index/Dew Point temperature 

Explanation: 

Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. It is the apparent temperature of how 

hot it feels to a human being. As humidity increases, the body is unable to cool effectively. The 
temperature will feel warmer. 

View Heat Index: 

From a normal 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 a normal 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 

Mount outdoor temperature outdoor sensors 

vertically

.

Protect the outdoor sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun, which can cause it
to read incorrectly.
