HEAT INDEX & DEW POINT TEMPERATURE:

Heat Index:

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

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 degrees ° 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.
