The spec means -0.04ppm per degree squared. The characteristic of these
tuning fork type crystals is parabolic. The so-called turnover temperature
is usually chosen to be around 25C. Both above and below this temperature
the frequency error is negative, and gets progressively worse the further
you move.
For example, for this crystal at 30C (or 20C) the error
would -0.04*5^2=1ppm. For 40C (or 10C) the error is -0.04*15^2=9ppm. For 50C
(or 0C) the error is -0.04*25^2=25ppm.
These crystals are reasonably good when held at a temperature near the
turnover point (e.g. strapped to your wrist), but are poor over wide
temperature ranges.
