Using the Humidity Monitor

Home Comfort Levels:
- Low Humidity Level: Humidity is low relative to temperature. Makes for a DRY environment.
- OK Humidity Level: Humidity is OK relative to temperature. Makes for an IDEAL environment.
- High Humidity Level: Humidity is high relative to temperature. Makes for a HUMID environment.
High/Low Records
The "HI" and "LOW" temperature and humidity records are automatically cleared every 24 hours. Records reset daily at the time the battery was installed. For example, if the battery was installed at 6:00 PM, high/low records will reset at 6:00 PM daily.
