4.2 Humidity Level Indicator
The device provides a quick visual indicator for humidity levels:
- WET: Humidity above 70%
- OK: Humidity between 65% and 70%
- DRY: Humidity below 65%
4.3 Max/Min Record Function
- Press the "Max/Clr" button once to display the maximum recorded temperature and humidity.
- Press the "Min/Set" button once to display the minimum recorded temperature and humidity.
- To clear the recorded Max/Min values, press and hold the "Max/Clr" button for approximately 3 seconds. The display will reset to current values.
4.4 Switching °C/°F
To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units, press the "Min/Set" button for approximately 3 seconds. The temperature unit on the display will change.
4.5 Recalibration (Advanced Users)
The device is pre-calibrated at the factory. However, if you require specific adjustments, the unit supports user recalibration. Refer to advanced user guides or contact customer support for detailed instructions on recalibration procedures.
