7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display on main unit | Low or no batteries; power adapter not connected. | Check battery installation and replace with fresh batteries. Ensure power adapter is securely connected. |
| No outdoor sensor data | Sensor batteries low/dead; sensor out of range; interference. | Replace sensor batteries. Move sensor closer to the main unit (within 60m). Ensure no major obstructions (thick walls, metal) between sensor and main unit. Re-pair sensors if necessary (refer to full manual for pairing steps). |
| Inaccurate temperature/humidity readings | Sensor exposed to direct sunlight, heat sources, or excessive moisture. | Relocate sensors to a shaded, well-ventilated area protected from direct weather elements. |
| Wi-Fi connection issues | Incorrect Wi-Fi password; station out of router range; network issues. | Verify Wi-Fi password. Ensure the station is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restart your router. Re-enter Wi-Fi credentials via the Wunderground app. |
