5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the vane sensor is free from dust and debris for accurate readings.

5.2 Battery Replacement

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace all four AAA batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation and data integrity.

5.3 Storage

Store the anemometer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

6. Troubleshooting

• Device does not power on:
  Check battery installation and ensure batteries are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
• Inaccurate readings:
  Ensure the sensor vane is unobstructed and clean. Verify that the sensor cable is securely connected. Calibrate the wind direction if readings seem off.
• Display is dim or flickering:
  This may indicate low battery power. Replace batteries.
• Cannot connect to PC:
  Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the device and the computer. Verify that the correct driver and software are installed on your PC.
