TRANSMITTER SIGNAL STRENGTH

 After the batteries are inserted, the forecast station will search for the

outdoor temperature/humidity transmitter for 3 minutes.

 The antenna symbol will flash during reception, and temperature

display will be dashes “---“.

 The antenna symbol will scroll during transmitter synchronization.
 If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar.

HEAT INDEX & DEW POINT TEMPERATURE

HEAT INDEX
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 normal time and temperature display mode,
press the CHALEUR/PT ROSEE 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.
