I have left my Brinsea at the factory settings. I put the sensorpush in one of the racks in place of an egg and it kept the last egg from falling over. I usually use nice round rocks as place holders. When transitioning to the hatch i tucked the sensor to the side in one of the slots where the racks normally sit. My sensor push usually sits around 98.5. Yours seems low. might want to put some others in for a spot check to see who is right. 4 degrees is a lot.
Once you are happy what the actual temp is then you can adjust the sensor push and it will save that setting. I added +1.0 F and it stays right at 99.5 to 99.6.
I got to talk to the Brinsea Rep and they take the temps 1 inch off the floor (so in the egg rack) and at the level of the 2nd and 3rd egg rack ( so in my unit, right under the center control unit). Once I went there, I'm running the temp about 1.5 degrees higher to get a 99.3 -99.5 degree reading on the sensor push. The one thing about the unit is that it is very consistent for temp and holds humidity well.
Those spikes on the SensorPush during hatching were very cool. I hope to see they also. My second canceling happens tomorrow at day 15.
