- Humidity: Displays indoor air humidity as a percentage (%). The operating humidity range is 30% to 70%.
- Comfort Indicator: A character icon (e.g., smiling face) indicates the comfort level based on combined temperature and humidity readings.
- Date and Time: Shows the current day and time (AM/PM format).
Functions:
- Setting Date and Time:
Refer to the specific buttons on your device (usually labeled 'MODE', 'SET', or similar) to enter the setting mode. Follow the on-screen prompts to adjust the year, month, day, and time.
- Temperature Unit Selection (°C/°F):
A dedicated button (often labeled '°C/°F' or 'MODE') allows you to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units.
- Min/Max Function:
Press the 'MIN/MAX' button (or similar) to view the highest (MAX) and lowest (MIN) recorded temperature and humidity values since the last reset.
