Relevant pages attached. The whole equation from the middle of the first page could be expressed as

-(ISA_dev) * Fn_error[height, elevation].

Meaning that the Height Error Function provides a difference between the reading and the true height. Which is then scaled in direct proportion to the ISA_dev to obtain the result. Whether hotter or colder than ISA makes no difference to the number, only reverses its polarity.
