5.1 Comprensión da pantalla
The digital display shows the following measurements:
- WBGT: Wet Bulb Globe Temperature.
- Ola: Índice de calor.
- TEMP: Temperatura do aire.
- HUMIDADE: Humidade relativa.
The display also indicates the current mode (IN/OUT) and alarm status.
5.2 Switching IN/OUT Mode
Preme o MODO button (usually indicated by an arrow or 'IN/OUT' symbol) to toggle between indoor (IN) and outdoor (OUT) measurement modes. The appropriate icon will appear on the display.

5.5 Interpreting Danger Zone Indicators
The meter provides visual and audible warnings when heat stress levels exceed predefined thresholds. A red LED will flash, and the buzzer will sound when the measured value is over the alarm threshold. The display also shows specific danger level indicators:
- Atención: WBGT: 26.7 ~ 29.4 °C (80 ~ 84.9 °F) / HI: 27 ~ 31.9 °C (80.6 ~ 89.4 °F)
- Extrema precaución: WBGT: 29.4 ~ 31 °C (85 ~ 87.9 °F) / HI: 32 ~ 40.9 °C (89 ~ 105.6 °F)
- Perigo: WBGT: 31 ~ 32.2 °C (88 ~ 89.9 °F) / HI: 41 ~ 53.9 °C (105.7 ~ 129 °F)
- Extreme Danger: WBGT: > 32.2 °C (> 90 °F) / HI: ≥ 54 °C (> 129 °F)
