6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Remote display is blank or unresponsive. | Low or dead batteries; incorrect battery installation. | Replace AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Thermostat not controlling connected device. | Device not plugged into the outlet; outlet not receiving power; incorrect mode (heating/cooling); temperature settings outside range. | Ensure device is securely plugged into the thermostat outlet. Verify the thermostat outlet is plugged into a live wall socket. Check if the correct mode (heating/cooling) is selected. Adjust target temperature settings. |
| Temperature readings are inaccurate. | Temperature probe is disconnected or improperly placed; probe is damaged. | Ensure the temperature probe is securely connected to the outlet. Reposition the probe away from direct heat/cold sources or drafts. If damage is suspected, contact support. |
| Remote and outlet not communicating. | Out of range; interference; pairing issue. | Move the remote closer to the outlet. Ensure no large metal objects or strong electronic devices are between them. Re-power both units to attempt re-pairing. |
| Alarm sounds unexpectedly. | Ambient temperature has reached a set high or low alarm threshold. | Check the current temperature and your alarm settings. Adjust alarm thresholds if necessary (refer to Section 4.4). |
