8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display on main unit | No power or dead batteries. | Check power adapter connection or replace batteries. |
| Outdoor sensor not transmitting data | Incorrect channel, dead batteries, or interference. | Ensure main unit and sensor channels match. Replace sensor batteries. Move units away from interfering electronics. |
| Inaccurate temperature/humidity readings | Improper sensor placement (direct sun/rain). | Relocate the outdoor sensor to a shaded, well-ventilated area protected from direct weather. |
| Weather forecast inaccurate | Device needs time to calibrate or local weather changes rapidly. | Allow 7-10 days for self-calibration. The forecast is based on barometric pressure changes, not real-time satellite data. |
