g.Press and release the “SET” key to return to the normal display mode (or the display will timeout after fifteen seconds and return to the normal mode automatically).

3.Canceling the Temperature Alarm While Sounding

a.While the alarm is sounding, press any key to mute the alarm. The temperature will flash as long as the value is above the set value.

b.The alarm will reactivate automatically once the value has fallen below the set value, or if a new value is entered.

F.Comfort Indicator for Indoor Temperature and Humidity

1.The comfort level indicator appears inbetween the indoor tempearture and humidity.

2.The indicator will display a “happy-face” when the temperature is between 68°F and 79°F (20°C and 25.9°C), and the humidity is between 45% and 64%.

3.A “sad-face” will be displayed when the temperature and humidity are outside the mentioned ranges.

4.If the humidity is below 45% the word “DRY” will appear to the right of the “sad-face” icon.

5.If the humidity is above 54% the word “WET” will appear to the right of the “sad-face” icon.

G.Weather Forecast Icon and Pressure Trend Indicators

The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate, and is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS- 8015U averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast—creating a necessity to disregard all weather forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to another (i.e. from one floor of a building to another floor). In areas where the weather is not affected by the change of air pressure, this feature will be less accurate.
