Press and hold the ADJUST and MIN/MAX buttons at the same time for 5 seconds again, and the
indoor humidity value will begin flashing. Press the CHANNEL/+ button to increase the humidity
and the MIN/MAX/- button to decrease the humidity reading in 1% increments. To rapidly increase
(or decrease) the humidity reading, press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or MIN/MAX/- button.
To return the humidity to the actual or uncalibrated measurement, press the ADJUST button.
Once the displayed temperature or humidity equals the calibrated source, press and hold the ADJUST
button for three seconds, or wait 15 seconds for timeout, and the indoor temperature or humidity value
will stop flashing.
4.8.2 Outdoor Temperature and Humidity Calibration
Prior to entering the calibration mode, press the CHANNEL/+ button to select the outdoor
temperature and humidity you wish to adjust.
Press and hold the ADJUST and CHANNEL/+ buttons at the same time for 5 seconds and the
outdoor temperature value will begin flashing. Press the CHANNEL/+ button to increase the
temperature and the MIN/MAX/- button to decrease the temperature reading in 0.1° increments. To
rapidly increase (or decrease) the temperature reading, press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or
MIN/MAX/- button.
To return the temperature to the actual or uncalibrated measurement, press the ADJUST button.
Press and hold the ADJUST and CHANNEL/+ buttons at the same time for 5 seconds again, and the
outdoor humidity value will begin flashing. Press the CHANNEL/+ button to increase the humidity
and the MIN/MAX/- button to decrease the humidity reading in 1% increments. To rapidly increase
(or decrease) the humidity reading, press and hold the CHANNEL/+ or MIN/MAX/- button.
To return the humidity to the actual or uncalibrated measurement, press the ADJUST button.
Once the displayed temperature or humidity equals the calibrated source, press and hold the ADJUST
button for three seconds, or wait 15 seconds for timeout, and the outdoor temperature or humidity
value will stop flashing.
Discussion: Humidity is a difficult parameter to measure electronically and drifts over time due to
contamination. In addition, location has an adverse affect on humidity readings (installation over dirt
vs. lawn for example).
Official stations recalibrate or replace humidity sensors on a yearly basis. Due to manufacturing
tolerances, the humidity is accurate to ± 5%. To improve this accuracy, the indoor and outdoor
humidity can be calibrated using an accurate source, such as a sling psychrometer:

or one step humidpak calibration kits (reference Section 8). You can also use common table salt,
water and a plastic bag:

Discussion: Temperature errors can occur when a sensor is placed too close to a heat source (such
as a building structure, the ground or trees).
