Is it possible to calibrate the heat anticipator on this device? It shows temperature much higher than it is in the room

Not if it is an electric one. You could with a gas one, has an anticipator. Ours is electric. Just preset it lower.

generally, thermostat set too high ,above180try turning the stat down.hope this helps.

I bought mine for low temperature use. but i found that it would not hold my desired temperature, be the temperature that it displayed (i have a laser heat gun), or stay powered on the entire time i had set. Overall it wasn't a very precise device, i personally recommend looking into any other devices in your price range if there are any, as i would not buy this again for my purposes.

I don't believe the machine can be calibrated, at least I haven't noticed an option. Also the readings are not always consistent if you take a few back to back. Have others noticed this?

Hi Harold - there must be a defect then. I set mine for 345 and it stops at that - it will fluctuate a few degrees down when in use - but nothing major. I would contact them and have it replaced

Hi,If you change the mode to fan or dehumidify the current temp will display. Otherwise the temp shows the desired temp, rather than current temp.

I now like the machine but the settings/temps process is mysterious. In brief, be sure it is in the mode you want; like standard and not eco or fan. I turn it on and up to where it starts, then back it down. I set its reading to four or five degrees higher than I actually intend. This way it cycles on and off at night and keeps the (bed)room at the desired temperature. This advice may not help. In which case persist; just fool with the thing until you win. Or call LeLonghi and good luck with that.

Thanks for your response. I was having trouble picking up the temp from the base. I think the batteries were low (duh.. pretty obvious..). I put in new batteries on both units, repeated the sequence a couple of times and... voilà! I think I've got the hang of it now. A handy little device.

I don't know because the thermometer appears to be quite accurate and; therefore, I haven't tried. There is no external adjusting screw and the device is hermetically sealed, so I don't think that it is designed to be calibrated.

You should calibrate any thermometer but if you are getting weird readings try changing the battery. Acurite recommends a basic alkaline not a heavy duty. This worked for mine.

I put a thermometer in the refrigerator to monitor the temp. It will take several trials to calibrate the dial on the unit. But after you find the correct temperature it will keep that accurately +/-5 degrees.

The temperature is incremental, not calibrated. That said, the lowest setting is just enough to take the chill off without building up heat (it cycles nicely)

There has to be a way to change it. I threw the directions away, but when u power on the device it shows Celsius before changing to Fahrenheit. I just can't figure out how to get C to stick

you dont. The number on the front is an indicator of the temp in the room, not what you want it to be. Just set it to the highest temp and it will do its best.

Haven't got a clue Todd, never happened to me. Mine has worked flawlessly other that I have to set the temperature to about 72 to get my desired room temperature of 68 degrees.

Yes you can set different heat levels not a typical thermostat to set it at a specific temperature

If by "calibrate" you mean manually set the thermometer to a specific temperature, then the answer is "no". On the other hand, if you mean by "calibrate" to check out against a preset temperature, then "yes" you could do this..e.g., immersing the probe in an ice bath.
