•If you press a wrong key during the 3-key sequence, or if more than 5 seconds elap- ses before completing the sequence, you will need to restart the sequence from the beginning.

•After pressing the 3 keys in the correct order within 5 seconds, all the LEDs will light at Step 1 (see chart). Use the Desired Humidity key to advance the steps. Using any other key will exit diagnostics.
