Relative mode
Measurements can be displayed as a difference between actual humidity/temperature and

press the REL button when the desired reference readings are on the LCD (the triangle
icon will appear steady in the upper left-hand corner of the LCD). All subsequent displayed
readings will be “relative” to the stored reference value. For example, if the reference
values are 50.0% & 100°F and the actual readings are 53.0% & 105°F, the meter will
display 3.0% & 5°F. To exit the Relative mode, press and hold the REL button until the
triangle icon disappears.
