Mold Warning Mode
Mold warning mode compares the surface temperature with the dew point temperature. Dew
point temperature is calculated using the ambient temperature and the relative humidity. If the
temperature difference is small enough, the LED above the display will change from green to
either yellow or red to indicate the possible presence of mold.
To activate mold warning mode, press the
Point the instrument at the object and hold down the trigger. The laser pointers will activate
