TEMPERATURE READINGS
Your WeatherGuide™ displays current indoor and outdoor temperatures, as well as the maximum and minimum
temperatures recorded over the last 24 hours.
● Current temperature readings display in the center and the bottom left corner of the LCD screen
(next to the “ ” and “ ” icons).
● Maximum temperature readings display in the middle screen at the bottom of the LCD screen
(next to the “ ” icon).
● Minimum temperature readings display in the right screen at the bottom of the LCD screen
(next to the “ ” icon).
Indoor temperature readings – these are temperatures at the thermometer’s location.
Outdoor temperature readings – these are temperatures measured by the attached sensor probe. Open a window and run
the cable through the opening so that the sensor probe is exposed to the outdoor temperature. Gently close the window to
avoid crimping or severing the cable.
Alternately, the probe may be used to measure temperatures of aquariums, swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Simply allow
the end of the probe to hang where you wish to measure temperatures.
Temperature readings will update approximately every 10 seconds.
