THERMOMETER AND HYGROMETER FUNCTIONS
A built-in sensor measures temperature and humidity, and shows the measured value on the display.
The readout from the temperature sensor can also be switched between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
Temperature Measurements
•The temperature display shows “LO” for temperatures below –19.9°C (–3.8°F) and “HI” for temperatures above
49.9°C (121.8°F).
•Though temperature readings are displayed up to 0°C (32°F) and greater than 41°C (105°F), note that such
readings are actually outside the guaranteed temperature range of this clock.
Switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit
•Push the °C/°Fbutton (3) to select either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
•Switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit causes current high temperature/humidity and low temperature/
humidity memory contents to be cleared.

•Never mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different brands.
•Never charge the batteries that come with the clock.
•Should batteries ever leak while in the clock, wipe out the fluid with a cloth, taking care not to let any get onto your
skin.
•Replace the batteries at least once a year, even if the current batteries are working properly.
