If either temperature reaches 100 degrees F, the thermometer announces the
temperature three times and (LIGHT) flashes on the display continuously.

temperature three times and (snow symbol) flashes on the display contin-
uously. (snow symbol) disappears when the temperature returns to the normal
range.

display every 60 seconds.  However, when you press any of the control
panel's buttons, the thermometer automatically updates the indoor and
outdoor temperatures every 10 seconds for the next 5 minutes.
